Hey! The help system/note keeper I wrote for myself is generic enough to
handle taglines this way, with a few changes. It gives you up to 255
topics each with up to 255 subtopics, and it uses a plain text file where
the text for each topic or subtopic can be as many lines as you want. All
that would be needed are a few simple modifications and it would work as
a tagline manager, where the text for each topic/subtopic would be the
taglines to choose from. The help system already has an interface with a
scrolling list of topics on the left and subtopics on the right, buttons
for adding, editing, and deleting, mouse support, the whole shebang. If
people would be interested, I'll make the necessary changes and make it
a freeware program (it'll take me only a few hours at most, so why not?).
The benefits of writing generic modules..... ;-)
