Ah sorry that's true. The promote/demote options of MORE require you  
to select the parent rows you want to effect and use move left/right  
to achieve the same thing in OO. Indent/outdent do exactly has the  
name implies in OO, it indents/outdents the selected row(s). I'll  
enter a request for this.
