Any objects can be selected, even those with children. That sounds as great new feature, sounds like I could use that. I have "Sets" which have its sub-objects, but Sets can be run, for example I can click on a set to open directory belonging to the set. I would like to use something as an expandable tree similar to speedbar in a full frame. Maybe speedbar can be used that way. > Most GUI menu interfaces I am familiar with do not allow selecting a > menu that has children, but only "leaf nodes".
