Good article.

Any ideas on adding AREXX support to Browser? I'm thinking of allowing such
things as:

	OPEN directory
	SET options
	RESET options
	MENU label command
	RENAME file1 file2
	COPY file1 file2
	DELETE file [all]
	MAKEDIR dirname
	STACK stack
	LAUNCH workbenchprogram files
	RUN cliprogram arguments
	REQUEST label

These should mostly be obvious: STACK sets the default stack for workbench
programs. REQUEST puts a menu item up. When it's selected Browser will
return the message and ghost the item. One file name will be returned.
RUN may not be implemented: the CLI environment basically sucks. I'm on the
verge of giving up and ripping it out.
