\item[Window title:] DsTool:  Browser
\item[Function:] The Browser window allows the user to examine data points stored in the DsTool memory objects.  
\item[Description:]  The Browser window is opened by selecting the Browser option from the Panels menu 
	button located in the Command window.  A point may be copied to the Selected Point window, written to the 
	standard output device, deleted, or simply examined.
%\item[Window type:] pop-up    
%\ITem[Window attributes:] non-resizable, pinnable(in), variable template
\item[Panel items:]\mbox{}
        \begin{itemize}
        \item Memory object stack setting: Allows the user to choose a memory object
                for inspection.  The memory objects\index{memory, objects} are:
		\begin{description}
			\item[Continuation:] Points calculated during a continuation calculation, by either
				the Periodic Orbits or Equilibrium Continuation window.
			\item[Fixed:] Fixed points and stable and unstable manifolds.
			\item[Mult:] Trajectory data for multiple trajectories, \ie, trajectories computed
				from the Multiple Orbits window.
			\item[Traj:] Trajectory data for single trajectories, \ie, trajectories computed
				from the Orbits window.  This is the default setting.
			\item[Param:] Points with specified parameters.  Data will not be stored in this
				memory object by DsTool Tk, but may be loaded in from data files.
			\item[Sel\_Pt:] Points saved by the user from the Selected Point window.
		\end{description}
	\item Flow numeric field:
		Displays the number of the flow to investigate.  Flows are numbered sequentially, 
		with the earliest flow being number 1, and the latest flow being number $n$.
	\item Flow number increase command button:
		Increases the flow number by one.
        \item Flow number decrease command button:
                Decreases the flow number by one.
	\item Range of flows message:
		Displays the range of flows which are currently in memory.
	\item Trajectory numeric field:
		Displays the number of the trajectory to investigate.
        \item Trajectory number increase command button:
                Increases the trajectory number by one.
        \item Trajectory number decrease command button:
                Decreases the trajectory number by one.
	\item Range of trajectories message:
		Displays the range of trajectories in the specified flow. 
	\item Point numeric field:
		Displays the point from the specified trajectory to investigate.   
		Points are numbered sequentially.  
        \item Point number increase command button:
                Increases the point number by one.
        \item Point number decrease command button:
                Decreases the point number by one.
	\item Range of points message:
		Displays the range of points in the specified trajectory of the specified flow. 
	\item Highlight exclusive setting:
		Allows the user to choose wheher highlighting\index{highlighting} is turned on.
		Setting this field to ``on'' causes the point currently specified by the above fields 
		to be highlighted in each 2-D View window.  Highlighting consists of marking
		the position of the point by a large set of crosshairs.  When an invalid point is specified,
		no highlight is done.   The default is to have highlighting off.
	\item {\em Variablename} read-only text fields:
		Display the value of the variable or parameter for the specified point in memory.
		There is one read-write text field for each variable and parameter in the defined dynamical
		system.  If the point specified by the flow, trajectory, and point fields is not a valid
		point in memory, then these fields are blank.
	\item Color read-only text fields:
		Display the color information for the point in memory.  The first color is the alternating color,
		the second is the pick color, and the last is the symbol code.  See section \ref{colors} on 
		colors in DsTool for additional information.
	\item Copy command button:
		Copies the current point specified by the browser into the initial
		column of the Selected Point window.
	\item Output command button:
		Writes the variable, parameter, and color fields of the currently displayed 
		point to the standard output device (normally the terminal).
        \item Delete command button:
		Deletes\index{data, deleting} the selected flow.  Dstool will {\bf not} ask for confirmation.
                The stored points field on the Command window is adjusted, as are the range fields above.
	\item Dismiss command button:
		Closes the Browser window.   
%The fields will not revert back to their default values.
