Description:

I simulate a Smalltalk environment as present in a living remote image.
My protocol mimics the NameSpace (i.e. class-environment) protocol,
and I can be used as a Browsers environment, in order to open a
browser into another running smalltalk.

This enables a standard browser to peek into another image... (well, almost)
