OK, So I'm trying to figure this out but I guess I'm just not seeing it.

So I have a file group called Local. Inside that I have individual file
areas. What I would like to do, is to be able to group those areas in sub groups. So for instance, I want to create a sub group called DOS Games, then have my file areas in there. I would do a go to sub? But what about the grouping? Z1, 2, 3? How would that work? I'm sure it's pretty obvious to everyone but me.

So:

_______
| Local |
-------
|
----------------------
| |
----------- ------------
| DOS Games | | Sub Group2 |
----------- ------------
| | |
------- ------- -------
| Area1 || Area2 | | Area1 |
------- ------- -------

I was pondering this and wondered if you could use system flags to somehow create those sub groupings but I remain uncertain. I think the best you could do would be to create your 'sub groups' at a file group level so file group
one is 'Dos Games' and then create your file bases with DOS stuff in them and set each one to be part of z1

I', not sure how you could set a higher level like you suggest then sub
levels within that outside of doing something with toggling on/off other
flags so that the user had to be a member of the first set of flags e.g Flag
B and a member of file group 1 in order to see the files.. that would be the only was I can think of doing it but have not tested it out to see if that works..

Hope this helps.

Best, Paul

I had given this thought but had not the time to really reply on this one
yet, I would use hidden groups which had the areas attached. But I can only see this being written cleanly maybe in MPL vs flags or otherwise until
g00r00 comes back maybe can add a feature for sub groups. :)
