No, not trying to build anything, just trying to understand how the browser works.
Looking at the OmniBrowser, I don't see anything as direct as the 'openEditString:' code,
but it does have an OBBrowser>>buildOn: method, which does get executed, and which appears
to create the browser view from some kind of description. This might also explain why
it takes longer to come up on the screen than using the older 'Browser'.

Hello Michael,
If you are trying to construct a new browser, you can take a look at the
OmniBrowser framework.
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5646Select the script in this page and doIt for installation:
http://installer.pbwiki.com/OmniBrowser(And install the "Installer" package using the Monticello Browser - Add HTTP
Repository - from
http://www.squeaksource.com/Installer.html if you do not
have Installer in your image)
Cheers
