A question/survey of sorts for users of Navigator

[Geoff Canyon]

Interesting idea -- just a different color, or what would the useful
interface look like?

Also, I honestly don't remember what I did for the double-click in
instances like that. I remember that if an object has a behavior I open the
behavior, but if the behavior has a behavior I'm not sure. Any suggestions
for the interface for that?

Glad to hear Navigator is useful.
