I know I don't truly understand, but can you not scan the source code for your

Sure, you can scan your source code for everything (variables,
procedure names, whatever you like). But the point of the outline view
is to filter and organize your source, so that you have selected
pieces of information in a much easier-to-digest way. For example, it
would be handy if you could, at a glance, see all the tables that are
used by your module. Gathering this information by scanning the source
yourself is potentially extremely tedious and error-prone.

[I'm speaking as a non-RDi user. I am just guessing what its outline
view does, based on bits of experience here and there with other
IDEs.]
