Expanding and Collapsing a Tree
===============================

   You can expand and collapse parts of a tree to reduce the complexity
of large class hierarchies.  Expanding or collapsing branches of a tree
has no impact on the functionality of other commands, like `/'.  (See
also Note: Go to Class.)

   Collapsed branches are indicated with an ellipsis following the class
name like in the example below.

     |  Collection
     |    IndexedCollection...
     |    Set
     |    Dictionary

`-'
     This command collapses the branch of the tree starting at the
     class the cursor is on.

`+'
     This command expands the branch of the tree starting at the class
     the cursor is on.  Both commands for collapsing and expanding
     branches are also available from the class' object menu.

`*'
     This command expands all collapsed branches in the tree.
