Description:


This class implements all kinds of class browsers.
Typically, it is started with 'SystemBrowser open', but there are many other 
startup messages, to launch special browsers.
See the categories 'startup' and 'special search startup' in the classes
protocol.

Alse, see the extra document 'doc/misc/sbrowser.doc' or the HTML online doc
for how to use the browser.

written winter 89 by claus

Notice:
    Obsoleted by NewSystemBrowser, but still used for remote image browsing.

Notice: 
    SystemBrowser has been rewritten to be an instance of ApplicationModel
    (see NewSystemBrowser).
    This transition is not yet fully complete and you see
    here still some support code used by that one. 

    A lot of action is (currently) still done here in BrowserView, although the
    SystemBrowser's class methods are used to startup a browser.
    (which is done to make the upcoming switch transparent)
    This will certainly change ...

PS:
    why did we add more and more here, instead of rewriting ?
    - because nobody pays us for it ;-),
      and the browser is not too bad to use, as long as you do not look into code.
