following inheritance in Browser

When I'm browsing a class and want to examine details of its  
superclass, I highlight the superclass name and press ctrl-b to view  
it in a new Browser. Is there a way to make it browse the superclass  
in the same Browser instead of opening a new one?

I can't speak for the omnibrowser. I don't use it.
The regular browser has a "inheritance" button on the menu bar.
It brings up a hierarchical browser.
The inheritance chain is in the class list.

The other useful thing for seeing the hierarchy
 is to press the ? button up to three times.
That button is between the instance and class button in the class pane.
The ? button cycles thru the class comment, class definition,
 and a rather useful display of the hierarchy.
It lists the ivars that come with each class.

Yours in service and curiosity, --Jerome Peace

PS. If we ever collect the answers to all your questions
 I think 80% of our documentation chores will be accomplished.
Keep up the good work.

Cheers --Jer

Thanks Jerome! I'm definitely putting in the effort to learn this  
stuff well. I'm also documenting what I've learned. See http://www.ociweb.com/mark/programming/Smalltalk.html 
. I'm constantly adding to this and trying to improve it.

I just got a copy of "Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns" yesterday and  
I'm diving in!
