[Newbies] following inheritance in Browser
***

When I'm browsing a class and want to examine details of its superclass, I highlight the superclass name and press ctrl-b to view it in a new Browser. Is there a way to make it browse the superclass in the same Browser instead of opening a new one?
I can't speak for the omnibrowser. I don't use it. The regular browser has a "inheritance" button on the menu bar. It brings up a hierarchical browser. The inheritance chain is in the class list.
The other useful thing for seeing the hierarchy is to press the ? button up to three times. That button is between the instance and class button in the class pane. The ? button cycles thru the class comment, class definition, and a rather useful display of the hierarchy. It lists the ivars that come with each class.
Yours in service and curiosity, --Jerome Peace
