script and link from a synoptic 2005-03-23 - By François Painchaud

> Soft did it, so I'm sure it can be done
Beware, the executable code behind the Synoptic is proprietary; it has
nothing to do with a standard html browser. The Synoptic is just using a
small subset of the html file format to store its stuff because it was
easier than inventing yet another file format.

I'm using a branching "wizard" model for some tools I'm working on.
I'd like for a user to be able to hit a button, have it do something,
and then go back to an earlier step in the wizard. But I can't seem to
programmatically call pages into the synoptic view... even from within
the scripts in the synoptic. <br>
