RE: something like the Plus! Preferences.... tabs?
You have to use child windows and change the visibility of them when a tab is pressed.  The easiest way I found of hiding the current child was to use a glodal varialbe like "currentTab" and set that when i changed the tab.  I also had a list of all the other tab just waiting.  When using tabs at the top and tabs at the left it becomes hard but you just use child windows and have to remember the current main area for each tab along the top (the one that relates to the currently selected radio control on the left).  Message Customizer! Live does tabs like this and you can look at the code if you want to see exactly what I did (I do warn you that it was about 9 months ago that I wrote it and I am now a much better scripter and I also re-wrote the whole script in about 1.5 to 2 weekss so it may be a little messy :P).
