What does "reusable" mean here? If you mean that navigating to something doesn't spawn a whole new window, then we _sometimes_ have reusable browsers. For instance, in a Browser, selecting a class name and pressing <alt>-<shift>-b will, within the same Browser, jump to the new class.
Yes - I mean "don't spawn a new window". I wasn't aware of that hotkey.
Other nice features of the message list in Moshi are forward and back buttons, a browseable history, and a 'reusable' toggle button, to make it spawn a new message list without learning a hot key. (It is the forward and back buttons I recognise from Newspeak and Amber.)
Thanks Herbert and Frank for explaining how to uncover the features for class and message implementor.

to get this behaviour the Preference "trace messages" needs to be enabled. checking... Right now this only works for implementors,
I set the preference and still get a new message list for each implementor I select (trunk 4.5 #12400) when I click the implementors button - but the list _is_ reused on cmd-m. A win for the keyboard. Thanks again.
Have fun! David
