starting the Project Browser

Is there a way to start/open the "Project Browser" (from the main LC Tools menu) using a script command for LC v8 and above?

It used to be (possibly v7 or before) that the stack retained the "state" of the Project Browser and would automatically display it when a stack was opened  if the stack were saved while the Project Browser was open.  This changed with v8 (I think).

Anyway, although I probably should move to "Navigator", I'm very comfortable with the Project Browser and use it all the time.  It is very annoying to have to use the LC menu each time I open a stack.  Similar the ability to "choose" the "browse" pointer in the Tools Palette and since I am incredibly lazy, I'd appreciate knowing if there were a way to "automate" the display of the Project Browser.

I can't seem to find anything related within the LC doc's (which are generally mainly helpful if you KNOW what you are looking for) or on the forums ... even looking generically for programmatic ways to call the LC menu options.
