James: >>So, is this random access?<< No, but it isn't classic or original hypertext either. Your assumption is that there is software out there that can understand your ideas to connect them together. There isn't. The packages like Hyperwriter, et al., use good ol' file inversion to index each character string for later access (whiich is what I mean by same-old same-old random access). Have you heard of a product called "Idea Fisher." Your description of your note-taking style reminded me of things I had heard about this package. Best – Rich
