This is really great!

I'm sure you have a future to-do list a mile long, but let me add a couple
thoughts in case they aren't already on your list.

First, it would be good if their were an vewi-time option to display with or
without frames. Frames are good for rapid, real-time navigation, but they
prevent you from being able to bookmark a particular page (there are
solutions to this problem, but they are a pain, too).

It would be nice to have a collapsible/expandable tree structure for
navigation.

PS
   BTW, I will want to include this in the Eclipse-based Ruby IDE that I am
starting. I've the project approved on Savannah as RIDE (for Ruby IDE) and I
will be sending out an announcement soon soliciting ideas and priorities for
its features.
