119    Ok, I think basically that's the view system. Then,
120    of course, you have menus with commands, which can be
121    tailor-made to an applitude ("make appointment," something
122    like that). Users can create their own menus; they're
123    just some RDF structure shown in a special way (always
124    present on the screen or so).
125    
126    Also, there needs to be a good way to store and organize
127    view presets: E.g., to create a money view, you'd select
128    "View showing text below node" or something, select the
129    RDF property to show (``money:cost``), select small
130    text size and red color. Then you'd put this
131    view-with-parameters into a "view" menu as "Expenses," easily
132    showable and hidable.
133    
134    (Note BTW that I use "menu" to include things containing toggles--
135    we have lots of those, switching particular RDF properties
136    on and off for example.)
137    
138    Finally, you want menus to be context-dependent very likely--
139    i.e., when you're scheduling, you want to see the menu with
140    "Make appointments" readily, and so on.
141    
142    Then, basically, I think that's it.
