Always like the use of an outliner in Frontier. This is part of the
inspiration, for working on the area. The other is "Inspiration" - the
software, Brain Forest Professional, and Microsoft Words outliner functions.
Haven't found one that I really like yet.

Now that is a really useful piece of information, thanks. As the basis for
all the projects I am working on are XML and outliners, I will take a look
and see if I can implement their proposed standard.
