	OpenROAD Experts,

	I am in the process of developing an application that is
displaying all its information in a tab folder.  Due to the large amount
of information that needs to be displayed, I require a large number of
tabs.  Unfortunately, OpenROAD will only display a single row of "tabs"
above the folder, with arrows either end to display the next / previous
tab.  This is not ideal, as you cannot see what other tabs are available
and you have to scroll through all tabs to get to either end.  What I
would like to do is have multiple rows of "tabs", as appears in
Microsoft applications.

	The only alternative I've come up with is to have multiple tab
folders, with a "menu" of buttons to move between the tab folders.  This
however, causes complex data manipulation between the various tab
folders.  Has anyone managed to implement multiple rows of "tabs" in an
easy form, as I cannot see an obvious way of doing this in OpenROAD? 

	Thanks,

	Martin Bloomfield.
