usage: -browse tablename [flag outvarb showcol returncol title msg nx ny color maxwid]

The BROWSE command creates an interactive window and displays the contents of the TABLENAME data list. TABLENAME is a table list structure, usually created via the -Table or -Connect query commands. The user can select one or more (see FLAG) rows in the list. When the window is closed, the desired row(s) are stored in a new table, or in a string variable (see USERVARBS).

The FLAG argument can be used to specify browsing options (combine by adding):

• 1 - return single value (OUTVARB is user varb name
  
• 2 - return new table (OUTVARB is table name)
  
• 4 - allow multiple entries to be selected
  
• 8 - inverse: keep only entries NOT selected
  
• 16 - return comma-separated string
• 32 - limit col to MAXWID (assumed if MAXWID>0)

SHOWCOL: if greater than 0 it indicates which column of TABLENAME to display in the browse list
RETURNCOL: if greater than 0 it indicates which column of TABLENAME to store in OUTVARB
TITLE: title for browsing window
MSG: text to display within browsing window
NX,NY: dimensions of browsing window (default: 400×500)
COLOR: color of window (default: 0808080h gray)
MAXWID: maximum column width (default: 30 if FLAG&32, otherwise no limit)
