Today while answering this email and reading that TR doc, i had the idea to review the name of each Step to make it very clear. I could not decide on a name for Step 4. The closest choice was "Windower" ... creating a window on the whole thing* through which gain the view. The "view" is bigger than the window. * The "thing" is the XML stream, model, structure, whatever we call it. I would like to edit this TR doc, but i am not sure about the file naming or the format. site-author/content/xdocs/TR/2004/WD-forrest10.html Going to copy that to TR/2005/WD-forrest10.html and continue with the raw HTML format with embedded style. Should i delete the 2004 or leave it? -David
