Aparajita;

Please don't apologize for the lack of examples. I know you'll get to
them when you have time. Between your helpful notes on the mailing
list and being snowed in with nothing to do but run through
fusebox.a4l, I think I'm starting to get it:

1) The output isn't interpolated until the whole path to the fuse has
been navigated, so you can put an assignment statement for a <title>
variable in any nested fuse -- even if the dsp with the header html
tag is in a parent circuit. I am using nested layouts (a few, anyway)
in my current project and it was really simple to add a single line to
each switch and end up with a page title and a site navigation/locater
block. (E.g. Bank > Accounts > Checking > Dec, 2004 Statement.) This
is so easy compared to the way I've always done it in the past.

2) Your response to my redirect question told me exactly what I needed
to know, and helped me get a feel for what we're trying to do here.
(E.g. using includes, collections, record sets, etc. to isolate fuses
so they have few dependencies.) Redirect solved my problem. If you
feel like I missed the boat on the point of fusebox.SendFuseaction,
feel free to include something about that whenever you are able to
work on a new demo.

Thanks -- this is really cool!
