My first outliner/PIM was built into my first DOS machine, a NEC laptop with two floppy drives and no hard disk. As I recall, it was single pane, plain text, and each outline item could be only a single line. TAB and Shift-TAB were used to shift an item left or right (i.e., make a “child”)

I also used Memory Mate and a program to keep one program running “resident” .while I was using another one. WordPerfect was king then.

Yes, Paradox worked with that and it was excellent. I built my own text database with its ‘blob’ fields. I had no idea at the time that there were dedicated programs for this. Oh - actually, I suspected so. I had tried Idealist. But it couldn’t handle non-latin languages.
