Hi Dale!

FYI, I plan to work on MetacelloBrowser tomorrow evening. Accommodating the 
issue with automatic addition of repositories and a better management of the 
comment. And if I find some time, I will implement the OB-like command 
discovery. Much better than fiddling with the #fillMenu: method. 

I will let you know about my progresses. 

Cheers,
Alexandre
