Wanted: Tab widget stack

Hi everyone,

I have been assigned the task of trying to create a 'tab widget'
in MetaCard. It's been a long, long time since I have done any
scripting with any HyperText type language and I'm a bit rusty.

The first thing I wanted to know is: does such a stack exist
in a contrib directory somewhere and could we negotiate with
the author?

The idea is to emulate a box of index cards or a tabbed
notebook. Clicking on the tab will bring that card to the
front. Ideally, we would like to be able to shape the tabs
as rounded, slanted, rectangular (as a property, if possible)
and position the tabs at the top, bottom, left or right of the
card.

For those familiar with Visual Basic, the VideoSoft VSVBX
IndexTab is the thing we're after (we also are looking for
such a beast in a format which XDesigner can live with)

Any and all suggestions and comments are appreciated.
