Hmmm...  That wasn't what I meant.  In the current design, *all* the
top-level structure except the top-level links vanishes when you drill
down, but I don't think keeping all those links is any better.  What I'd
like to see when you click on, say, the PSF link would be something like

Special topics
Popular links
    PSF Home
        About the PSF
        Mission statement
        Donations
        Membership roster
        Public records
        Bylaws
        Press releases

That's not something we can do easily right now, since it requires some
of that major restructure I'm trying to avoid, but I'd like that
capability built in, and I think we can probably do at least some of it
without the full restructure.

I'm out of town Sun through Thurs with limited Net access, so don't
expect much from me for a week.

This is Python.  We don't care much about theory, except where it intersects 
with useful practice.  --Aahz
