Thanks Colin, this is perfect! Have been wondering what macros do.

Chris,
   In Apache 1.3x, one apache handler is selected to process each
request. Scoop itself is a handler which precludes use of another
handler for delivery of pages.
   That said, Scoop does facilitate a mechanism for includes of sorts
using the Macro mechanism. Take a look at
http://gristmill.grist.org/admin/macros
and
http://scoop.kuro5hin.org/guide/A_20_Macros.html

The concept is, a macro can be inserted into a story, which causes a box
to be executed at that location. In your case, you'll want to put
together a macro around a box which lists all stories in a given topic,
or mor simply you could create a macro which inserts a block containing
your story list.

Best Regards,
Colin Hill
