Thanks Geert....I am all thumbs when it comes to javascript (or UI design for 
that matter:), so there are very likely better ways to do things...for them 
moment I am satisfied that I have _a way_ to do things ... 

I needed to move to a web-browser for GLASS and I just didn't think that the 
window-centric model we are all familiar with would translate well into the 
web-browser world and I stumbled onto the current model, that does seem to fit 
well ...

I am building in the notion of multiple "sessions" where each "session" manages 
the history and navigation stacks so that multiple internet browser tabs can 
have independent lives ... I am also interested in exploring the possibility of 
working with two independent smalltalk processes/images from within the same 
session ... I think that it would be interesting and useful for the folks that 
develop in Pharo and deploy in GemStone to be able to run tODE in GemStone, but 
be able to easily view and edit the pharo source (an vice versa) from within 
the same development environment ... I've already been working with one 
internet tab for Pharo and one for GemStone, but being able to navigate 
directly without the standard "copy, switch window/tab, open search, paste" 
steps that are usually needed ...
