And yes it is rather like what I have. The two most obvious differences are * Wiki is based on a plain text format whereas * Todo is based on a list format - and - * Todo can have links with arbitrary text labels whereas * Wiki CanOnlyHaveLinksWithLabelsLikeThis Another difference: * Todo encourages fairly arbitrary "markup" whereas * Wiki says "The general idea is to write plain ASCII." As for Todo's "up" feature, you do understand it. When you insert a link from page A to page B in Todo, page B automatically adds a "hidden" link to page A. This makes it possible for to conveniently determine at any moment the clients of a given list. "Up" just means "change focus to one of the clients". Joe
