 This utility allows you to type BROWSEME on the command line of a file being
 edited and be taken into an ISPF BROWSE of that same dataset.  When you quit
 the BROWSE, you will return to the EDIT.  This may be useful for an 80 byte
 text file where readable text extends past column 72.  To see the full 80 bytes
 in this situation, you would type BROWSEME and press ENTER.  Note : BROWSEME
 does a "save" of the dataset prior to "browsing", so that the version to be
 "browsed" is identical to the version being "edited".  To NOT perform the save,
 type BROWSEME NOSAVE on the command line, and the most recent version from DASD
 will be "browsed".
