hierarchical lists with collapsing arrows

[Xeubie Tsu]

Well, I would still like it to act as a list - i.e., I want to be able to 
highlight items in blue. It's just that I don't want the arrow to collapse 
unless I click the arrow.

I'll try that workaround...not to familiar with "the clickChar," but I'll 
look it up. Thanks.
