I have not seen these twisties, so I am guessing a bit here, but It seems that the twisties should be covered by the GL recommendation - use meaningful links. As I read this discusssion, that means that the associated text should be prt of the link. I am imagining something like some websites use, where a list uses graphic bullets which are links, while the explanatory text is not a link. This seems to me counter to the idea behind hypertext such as HTML, which makes it possible for the text itself to be active, rather than the old Prestel-type systems, which simply provided for linking of objects, nd text descriptions of what the links might be. If the Notes/Domino solution cannot provide that (and I would be surprised if that were the case) then it is a poor solution indeed. On the other hnd, it does highlight the fact that this is not necessarily simple, and people need to understand their tools. Charles McCathieNevile
