I hacked around with the zbrowser code and implemented a user interface
similar to the one I described earlier.  It currently lives in 
/mit/dschmidt/Bin (I only have a vax version compiled).  This is how
it works:

  Clicking on the "quit" button quits the browser.
  Clicking with the left button on a summary unmaps it.
  Clicking with the center button on a summary maps and raises it.  If
    it is already mapped, it is raised.  (This feature was already in
    zbrowser, but most people don't realize it.)
  Clicking with the right button on a summary deletes it.

Once in a while it inexplicably core dumps.  I'm looking into this.
