[REBOL] Re: Treepad?

Underneath the hood it sounds like a good way to handle it, but it does not seem
a sensible methodology at this time if you are unable to classify the categories
to produce a tree (of some sort). Tree's are just an excellent way to classify
things for a graphical world. Although such an approach does make sense with
less limited interfaces, such as voice or keyboard.
