Hi, John.

Thanks for the reply. (sorry mine is ..ahem... on the delay)

re: "Open Location"
I beg your pardon, but for my thick skull... I'd like to verify that i
understand, as explained...

If a URL were entered via that theoretical "Firebug -> [Location Bar /
URL-Open-dialogue ]", the contents of the "new" URI would then load
also in the primary browser viewport, by nature of the tool's
[firebug's] relationship to the browser?

i believe it is not possible, as you explained, but to rephrase the
advantage i envision, i might mumble to myself (schizo that way, ya
know...), something like:  "okay, here's my .js from site/ 'doc-A' ,
now let me quickly view another-- just in Firebug (while leaving a
"current doc" in the browser, as loaded upon launching Firebug 5 mins
ago) -- i can view how this block of functions (lines 45 - 72) differs
in the previous .js version, which i believe to exist in
[..::click::...::click::...browsing local
filesys...::click::...ah-ha-- there it is- in 'doc-00'!"...

you get the idea, i'm sure. but that's a no go, eh?

oh well. it's all good, either way. it's still the coolest grunge of
the '90's. the feel good movie of the summer, the most whitening white
n freshest breath, n all that good stuff!...

pie,
js
