I'm insulted.

The Browser Message will be of this form:

	struct BrowserMessage {
		struct Message b_message;
		ULONG	b_id;	/* 'BRWS' */
		ULONG	b_len;	/* sizeof(struct BrowserMessage) - sizeof(struct Message) */
		ULONG	b_type;	/* 'ADD ' or 'DEL ' */
		ULONG	b_lock;	/* directory lock of file */
		char *b_name;	/* name of file */
	};

You loacte the port to send this message with FindPort("BROWSER");

Any objections?
