It's not very clear to me what kind of interface you are talking about. I don't remember that far back. Not SDI, apparently. Not one window per outline. No tabs. So there must have been some other way to select which outline to view within the single Leo window. Presumably that would have been some kind of a list of windows, something like a most recently used file list? Or a dialog that popped up and listed the outlines?
Actually, Leo's *Files/Recent Files* menu *does* list open outlines. They seem to be listed first. It's just that it doesn't show the open ones any differently from recent but closed ones, so it's hard to tell what's opened. Maybe its display can be tweaked a little. All the open outlines could be shown at the top, and the recent but closed entries below, separated by a separator line. That shouldn't be too hard to arrange (for someone who knows how that menu item works). Of course, if you are going to be working with 30 open outlines, it's going to be a little cumbersome to deal with no matter how you do it ...
