hi niklas,

i am not sure, if i am understanding correctly, what you mean with the
term "browser" ... 
are you speaking of a gui object for the nova language or of a widget of
the gui?

that is definitely pretty important to figure out, which objects are
installed ...

... useful, too ...

in both cases, in both cases ... i would guess you are talking about gui
widgets (?)

max provides a file-browser gui object, ubumenu, that iirc can either be
filled with messages, or directly accesses the file system (with support
for extension filtering)

should be plain gui features, no?

you should definitely have a look at the ubumenu documentation ...
cycling provides pdf manuals at the site for most of their products
