-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Troy, I'll take the parallel view stuff because I did the first of it.
I did not understand what was meant with adding a box to the parallel view. Should it be an intro box or something else? Should the nvigation by clicking remain the same or should it be changed?
