Ian,

Surely and a few years ago I think the RB/RE was integrated in the
regular browser. The current browser has been rebuilt using
ToolBuilder (by Andreas R. I assume). It should be feasible to add it.

Another dream which might be worthwile to find out more about (and
maybe some Pharo people are working on this) is to check out Glamour.

It is about a browser writing DSL.  Or a toolkit for constructing
browsers - not only for code but just for general domain models.

The MS thesis by Philipp	Bunge which you can download from
http://moose.unibe.ch/tools/glamour gives a very good introduction.

With Glamour you can construct various kinds of browsers with just a
few lines of code..

The introduction gives a good historical background about browsers in
general***. It mentions the And there are examples which give a
general perspective.

Philipp Bunge gives an evalutation of various browser approaches including OB.

*** It goes back as far as the visit of Trygve Reenskaug (Norway) to
the Xerox Palo Alto
Research Center between 1978 and 1979. He  wished to use Smalltalk-76
as the basis for a system for production control in shipbuilding. This
later led to the development of MVC.
