Double-click just inside one of the double quotes of
"X509CertificateBrowser open" to select the contents and doIt (on a PC,
type Alt-d (or right-click and select "do it" from the popup menu); on a
Mac, type Command-d (or Option-click to get the menu -- or notice the
small "button" at the top of the popout scrollbar for the code pane -
put the mouse pointer on it and you will see a tiny menu icon, click to
get the menu).

This will send the message "open" to "X509CertificateBrowser" and you
should be in business.
