Calling an external programm is certainly possible. Can't think of a =20
usefull application of this though. Your example sounds like serious =20
crack. Browsing is not the window manager's job. You should have a look =20
at BeOS Tracker. The BeOS filer support browsing the filesystem via =20
right-click pop-up menu. Might silence requests for a tree-view pane as =20
well.
