  If we could get the Surgeon General to issue this warning, I'm sure
we would carry it on our package.   Thanks for the compliment!

Hold on tight: we have something like this in TSE Pro. already, it's just
implemented in a slightly different manner.  The name of the feature is
Template, and is implemented as a macro that you need to load (I'd recommend
adding it to your macro AutoLoad List).  Here is how it works:
Creating A Template
-------------------
To create a template:
    - Insert the text you want to use as a template in a file you are
      editing.
    - Block the text using any of the block marking commands.
    - Press  to pull up the Template Menu, and select "Add Marked
      Text as Template".
    - When prompted for a Keyword, type in a word that you associate with
      the text you have marked, then press enter.
    - When prompted for an extension, you can either (a) type an extension
      if you only want to use the template in specific types of files (this 
s
      useful for programmers who only want to use a template in a specific
      file like .C or .H), or leave the prompt blank to be able to use the
      template in all files.
That's it, you've created a template.  To use your template, follow one of
the procedures below:
Inserting A Template
--------------------
There are two ways to insert a template you have created into a file:
    Method One: Expand The Keyword
    ------------------------------
    This is the faster of the two methods, and will probably be used more
    often than the second method.
    - Type the keyword you assigned to your template into your file.
    - Press the  key.
    Method Two: Select Template from Keyword List
    ---------------------------------------------
    This is method is useful if you've forgotten the keyword that you have
    associated with your template text.
    - Press  to pull up the Template Menu, and select "List
      Templates".
    - Highlight the item you want to insert with the cursor bar.
    - Press .
Does this do what you want?

I definitely agree with this idea -- I've used both PC-Outline and
GrandView, and liked them quite a bit.  I'd really like to have GrandView's
hoist feature in here.  I started trying to come up with a way to do
outlines in TSE via macros, but haven't found a good / workable way to
implement it beyond a simple list processor.
Thanks for the suggestions!
