	I started stepping through this, but I think there's a basic problem ... if 
you alternate between List and Browse, you're building a chain of screens 
that you'll need a heap of ESC's to get out of (unless I've missed something 
...).

	The "Right Way" (?) would be to create the dialogs in main(), have them set 
pointers to each others, and then show() and hide() them (I think). Also, you 
may want to think about just List and Browse which can pass each other the 
current parental level as well. Since Manage gives you access to all levels, 
switching to it would require the password popup, and Manage is not something 
you really want to be casually hoping in and out of in any case.

	If you did just List and Browse (as above), you could bind it all to a single 
key, such as a keypad number (higher than 4, as 1-4 are used to change 
Parental Level).
