Yes! That was my original thought and my suggestion for a useful
project for somebody to work on.

Here's an easy workaround to create multiple hotlists. The Arachne
hotlist can link direct to files on your hard drive. So just manually
change the name of "hotlist.htm" to "oldlist.htm" Create a new 
hotlist by selecting the URL's you want in the usual fashion. When
you're complete change the name of the new hotlist to something you
want, like "sailboat.htm" for your sailing links.

Then change "oldlist.htm" back to "hotlist.htm" Now you can use
the hotlist manager to include "file:C:\Arachne\hotlists\sailboat.htm"
in your hotlist. (use whatever the actual path to the file is)

As Mike Millen pointed out you can have links in your hotlist to
multiple sub hotlists orgainized however you wish. 

The only tool you need for this method is the existing Arachne
Hotlist Manager and the ability to manually rename files.
