The colleagues who are working on it will probably kill me, but here is an 
example of one that is VERY drafty and 
incomplete.    http://library.boisestate.edu/tour/

At least it shows the right hand menu.   My main involvement was working 
out how to do this in FrontPage2000, which only allows shared menus in the 
top and left shared borders.   We're pretty happy with the menu, though may 
come up with different and smaller buttons.  Also, the draft pages need 
tons of cleaning up, resizing of images, completion of text, etc.  But, at 
least you can see the right menu.

The left and right arrows aren't all linked yet.  The concept is that you 
can follow the arrows through a logical tour sequence, but that you can 
also pick the topic of your choice if you don't want to take the whole 
tour, or if you want to jump around.

cheers
