Actually, you should probably ask this question on the main Squeak (squeak-dev) list, not the SqueakFoundation list.  The foundation list is for discussing foundation-related issues.

But since I'm already replying... are you running an older version of Squeak?  Squeak 3.0 (and 3.1alpha) both let me do "ProcessBrowser open" and it works.
