Hi Tobias thanks so much for the detailed response. I've continued working on it (most every day, of course), and I think it is getting better. I'm working through your suggestions, and have implemented some of them.
I'd like to implement the "Header" strategy suggested by Birthe's http://bc.classic.tiddlyspot.com/ <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fbc.classic.tiddlyspot.com%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHf-2ZTfLdXEEkPAn0w2x_-bNoJtg> -- I see how he built [[Header]] but don't see how he gets it to stay visible. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. //steve.
