Why ?!!

We have this design in REALbasic.

In REALbasic all this helper windows we have even as SEPARATE module, which
developers can easy drop into own project and use. This is normal way to
create re-used libs/tools/utils.

I am very wondered that Revolution developers tend put all into single
space:
        
    single global space for examples
    single database for examples
    single window
    ...

People. If this is normal for Revolution, then believe me,
Revolution will NEVER become tool for collective work/development and
therefore for enterprise use.

REALbasic also did have this problem, and they constantly improve self in
this are. 

You CANNOT do collective development using SINGLE spaces...
