It's currently implemented in that way ;). I'll try to send you the files 
tonight/tomorrow, as a first value objects version...

I agree, i think it's an informative and clear way of displaying patient 
course...

Sure. Dou you mean a brief schema of the contents? , eg
        Issue 1:
                Episode 1: 
                        Enconter 1
                Episode 2
        Issue 2:
        ... just displaying the name of the issue, the title of the episode and 
eg., 
de date of the enconter?

        ...Or some kind of table
                Issue | Episode | Encounter | Item
                ---------------------------------------------------
                ----------------------------------------------------

        ...Or another idea:
