I have just started working with Toolbook and I have couple of problems:

1. I want to run multiple instances of toolbook working with the same files. 
 I want the instances to send remote commands to each other.
 Toolbook manual says that toolbook recognizes only filenames as DDE TOPICS.
 Is it possible to specify to which of the many instances having the same file
 open a command should be sent to? (I don't have DDE documentation)
2.  I'd like to access novell btrieve from the application. Is it going to be a
 big problem? 

Toolbook does not seem to be very popular in this list, I found only a few
messages about it. Is there something much better around? I'm working on a
hypertext/full text database/outliner -type of thing, all textual but requiring
multiple windows.
