  command:

        DO HOME()+'BROWSER.APP' WITH HOME()+'SAMPLES\CLASSES\SAMPLES'

2. Open the "datachecker" class by clicking on it with the mouse.

3. Right-click any of the classes in the left pane of the Class Browser window,
  or right-click any of the methods that show up on the right pane of the Class
  Browser window.

  NOTE: This displays a context menu where the first choice is "Descriptions."

4. Leaving the Context menu open, click Close in the Class Browser on the top
  right corner of the window.

  NOTE: A Class Browser dialog box appears with an error that begins with
  "TOBROWSER is not an object."

5. At this point, click OK to ignore the error, or click Cancel to close the
  Class Browser. Either choice closes the Class Browser.
