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 ...
