Thanks for the input, Colin.

I watched the railscast that you suggested.  It's definitely dealing
with the type of thing that I am talking about.  However (and I may be
totally naive on this) it seems that acts_as_tree really only does 2
things: (1) it does the grunt work of setting up the associations;
and, (2) it provides a few handy instance methods.

The point is that while having those capabilities available in a nice
package is handy, there doesn't seem to be anything in the package
that will help me develop the code to generate the basic framework for
the hierarchical view.  That's the part that I don't have a clue as to
how I am going to accomplish.

Again, thanks for the input.
