Thanks for your reply, Richard. Coming from you I will heed your suggestion that perhaps there is a better metaphor to use than the Finder. Besides, it's just too difficult to do!

Thanks, Roger

I know this is asking a lot but here goes anyway.

In my little Rev application, I call a "document" a field grouped with
a couple of buttons to save and export as the user chooses. No problem
with this. And, I know how to move this around.


What I would like to do is essentially recreate the hierarchical folder
environment that one typically sees in MAC OS X folders with View set to
"As List" In other words I want to be able to create new folders, name
them move them around, put created "documents" in them, and put some
folders inside of others etc. For my twit brain this is turning out to
be very complicated!


Is there anyone out there that has done something like this and would be
willing to share it?

Yes: on Mac it's called the Finder and on Windows the Explorer. :)

But seriously, if you need to completely mirror the sometimes complex
behaviors of those apps, would there be a downside to encouraging the
user to use those?

If you just need a subset of behaviors reading up on these Transcript
tokens should help get you started:

directory
folders
files
detailed folders
detailed files
create folder
