You're correct, "multiple" can be different for each of us.
OK, how's this?
I think Todd's search limit is similar (maybe same code) to the search function
for the set database... I'm proposing that it be over-ridden for these links.
But even that aside, you could have a link on each sub-level to view the total
parts pics at that sub-level.
You also could have a link on the title page (with attendant size disclaimers)
to view all the pics in one page. (T-1/3 lines and cable modems can handle it).
I love printing a catalog after each update, but now, that's really tedious,
especially with the onerous 20 parts per page limit... (Todd?)
You could even call it a "View Entire Catalog" link...
