</div>Just covers journal save/resume of tabs, scrollback and working<br>

You should take a look from a UI design point of view as Wade added<br>
multiple tab support (toolbar buttons for tab add/remove and<br>
navigation, with the new tabs appearing along the bottom of the<br>
screen, a little like IRC does for rooms). I can see other Activity<br>
developers may pick up on this style so you might want to give it a<br>
once over re the design; perhaps at least standardise on some toolbar<br>
icons for tab functionality so other developers know what's good to<br>
pick-up on.<br>
