Hello Minou,

	I think I understand your question.  If this doesn't answer it, please don't 
hesitate to write back with more details.

	I think you are trying to create a custom track that contains sub-tracks.  We 
call these composite tracks.  An example of a composite track on the website 
would be on the hg17 browser -- the Affy Sites track.  If you visit the 
description page for that track, you will see that it has several sub-tracks.

	Unfortunately, it is not possible to create composite tracks using the Custom 
Track tool.  If you were to build a mirror site of the browser, you would be 
able to create composite tracks.  If you are just trying to save some screen 
real estate, let me know and I can give you some tips.  If I have missed the 
point completely, let me know that as well.


Regards,
