Hi Doug,

	I figured out what to do to add my new methods.  The problem
(from my point of view) is the non-sensical error messages when the
browser is 'not in the right "mode"'.  I wouldn't feel like
something is broken if the error said I need to select a category
other than '-- all --', but of course if it told me this, then it
could just select the category for me, like it used to.

	My intention is to "fix" this, even if I have to learn a lot
more of the browser than I'd like to, so I am really looking for
guidance in where to start.

	Thanks for the insight on the history of the situation.
