Hi Norbert, Your proposal seems unrealistic to me. Hyperlinks have solved the problem that could never be solved by a pure hierarchical organisation. Do you know about the "Root Search engine" (see Root home page) ? We always assume that people know that they should look at: - Classes reference Guide - Tutorials - test examples - the Search engine. The search Engine should may be upgraded to automatically scan the other categories.
