This is must like what I needed but it isn't standard with the existing 
components.  What I found odd were the similarities between how IC uses 
CAT and AREA, so I deviated from the standard approach and modified the 
use of AREA to operate as input to customized components for creating a 
table feed for the left column selections as well as the body area.  It 
wasn't hard to do, but the overall site is still in development and 
using GDBM, it is real slow but I am not I/O limited but rather CPU, so 
I'm hoping that once pushed over to the product system which is a Dual 
P3/933, it'll run better.  If not, I may hve to yield to the earlier 
advice about using SQL...
