I may not have made myself clear.

I have no problem with using StdTabViews in applications developed using
BlackBox.

What I would like to see is an enhanced version of the BlackBox environment
itself. Then when you had several source files opened for editing, they
would be accessible via tabs rather than overlapping each other e.g. an
additional option on the BlackBox -> Window menu:

New Window
----------
Cascade
Tile Horizontal
Tile Vertical
Tabbed <------
...
