i'll try to attach the four views, one of each tab in the dialogue... this is 
for informational purposes only and to maybe help develop further ideas...

one thing i found interesting is that while one tab might appear to have a lot 
of white space, that space is used when other tabs are selected as you can see 
in each image... my cropping may not be accurate but the dialog's size doesn't 
change at all when each tab is selected...

hahahaha!! nice topic save ;)  but seriously, what i needed at the time was an 
editor to handle many many text files at once and allow me to see and approve 
each change... i definitely didn't need to be trying to develop my own editor ;)

in any case, here's the attachments... hopefully ;)
