I wrote that ages ago for just the requirement you describe here. http://www.skamphausen.de/cgi-bin/ska/mtorus You create markers on-the-fly and store them on a ring, then you cycle through that ring. If you have a new topic you create a new ring where you can put another group of markers. Then you can cycle rings, too. I always find it hard to explain, you will have to try it out.
