Has anyone worked out how to open a dtml-tree to a specific node?  I 
see what needs to be done but was hoping someone had already made it 
work.

Part 1: Change tree display to a specific state.

Construct a cookie representing the desired state, using either 
TreeTag.encode_seq or TreeTag.encode_str

With my "tree" frame as a target, display the frame's usual URL, with 
a ?state-s argument equal to the constructed cookie.

Part 2:

Simulate the clicking of the desired link by displaying its URL with 
my "content" frame as a target.

In my case, I actually don't want to specify the entire state of the 
tree, just make sure that a desired node is visible, so I may have to 
use a variation that uses ?state-e instead of ?state-s.
