Hi Christine,
If you don't need to set a lot of node-specific properties, then I find 
$setnodelist to be very convenient. On the other hand if you need to set 
individual textcolor, ndoe icons, dis/en-able, expand/collapse boxes, or 
$tag values, then I find it's better to $add() each node one at a time. 
If you use $add() be sure to use an item reference for quick access to 
your newly created node; that's very handy for setting any additional 
attributes!
