A quick tour of the outline-based script and menu editor in Frontier. O utlines play a big role in Frontier.
Scripts are outlines and so are menus.
I've been using outliners for so long, they've become part of my basic vocabulary, it's easy to forget that for some people they are new and perhaps strange things. So here are the basics of using the outliner that's built into Frontier. It's a text editor that allows you to control the level of detail that's visible, and allows you to reorganize text according to its structure. Outliners make great program editors because programs are hierarchic structures, and editing programs is easier if you have an editor that understands structure. The same is true of hierarchic menu bars.
