I’ve uploaded some screenshots here:

If there’s something specific you would like to see, let me know.
Hope this helps :)

Fantastic! Now how about creating a “Grandview for Mac”. :)
You could try to figure out a way to get More (http://outliners.scripting.com/more31.html) to work. As I understand, GrandView was the DOS version of More.

Hi Dee,
many thanks for that! If it’s not too much trouble, I was wondering what GrandView looks like in its most distraction-free writing mode (i.e. least amount of functions, commands etc. showing on the screen, such as when you zoom in to write a particular section of an outline).
I’m just wondering if this setup could be an alternative to getting involved with Org-mode (for the ability to zoom in and out of outline levels for distraction-free writing).

Done :)
I uploaded some new screenshots to the same folder:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8ucGNNvTCmSTk1adlY2LUdfV2c
Screenshot 4 shows a distraction-free view.
Other screenshots show clones, hoisting, a calendar view, and how to use the Windows clipboard with GrandView.
My biggest gripe with GrandView is the lack of undo, which I use constantly in other apps. At the same time, I’m having a *lot* of fun with GrandView, so I’m not giving up yet. If I look at it philosophically, maybe a lack of undo is a *good* thing: it forces me to be bold and decisive—to commit! ;)

I was able to install and run Grandview on Mac using Boxer http://boxerapp.com/.
