Thanks.

The way the folder switching works is via some internal
callback function bound to the tab button. By replacing the callback
function, the application takes over the responsibility for switching the
the folder.

There appear to be opportunities to make the interaction between
the internal callback and application better via some systematic
approach, an essential part of composite object. Composite object
now works, but service by the main driver is minimal. I expect
a new Chapter on the composite object in the near future that
will address this particular feature and much more. So for now,
I will just add some comments about how the tabbedfolder works.
