Can use TextNodeRegistry for the following uses:
LoganBerry queries for telephone directories (queries are an example of one-to-many node transformations that get done on demand)
[]<>Users>Terry.pa>Whitepages>TerryTDir.lbdf name: T
A node that displays the current time (transformation occurs on every access)
>current time goes here<
Nodes that keep track of how many times they have been accessed (e.g. by adding a "." on every transformation)
A node that causes the message window to blink when it is displayed.
A node that causes it's contents to be sent to the Text-to-Speech server when it is first displayed.
Citations and references obtained from a LoganBerry database in refer format (need smart reference formatting program)
Definitions obtained from a LoganBerry database (e.g. for the Cedar glossary)
An index generated automatically (e.g. for the Cedar glossary) (the node can contain the words to be indexed)
Nodes that turn themselves into TiogaButtons
can't do since TiogaButton viewers are different than Tioga viewers.
Can associate an activity with the root that is "triggered" when the document is opened
Can associate BreakTool breakpoints with nodes in a program that turn themselves on and off
Can execute an arbitrary CommandTool command
date
ls ///Users/Terry.pa/Terry*!h
Try a tournament in which nodes inherit values from their children (in this case the maximum integer)
