Convert row to note of parent row?

[Ethan J. A. Schoonover]

As an aside, the delete problem Curt describes can be worked around  
by repeating through a list of rows in reverse order. It's faster to  
use a single filter (like the "every row" sample) but reverse  
repeating through a list of rows will not alter the sequence of the  
rows in the filtered list. I'm sure there is a better way than  
this... anyone?

I suppose another option would be a recursive delete function that  
strips out the last row. That's how I handle deletions (more or less)  
in kgtd. Also probably not the best solution.
