Need a tutorial on tab portals

How do you create a tab portal or single page portal view for browsing multiple address records for a contact in Filemaker 7? Ideas for using a technique similar to the “Business Tracker” sample from Filemaker.com. The contact layout has a button to add secondary addresses and you navigate through them with tab graphics. In other words, the layout would allow two or more addresses in a non scrolling portal. Then navigation arrows or tabs would scroll through portal records. The tricky part is the interface.

This solution would not be multiple layouts for a couple of addresses. It needs to handle two or more (like ten addresses).

I need a tutorial on creating this layout with a complex many-2-many relationship. A sample database would help, yet a tutorial or book as a quickstart guide would be ideal.
