Best I recall, browse is the same thing as ghosting - correct?

Is browsing/ghosting an all on or all off scenario?  Ie, could you have 
a submap that has ghosting on but not for others?  If so, I don't think 
you can handle it in the startup script.  In this case, I think we would 
have to handle it in the parsing of the maps.

Otherwise, I think it could be handled in the startup script.

I have often wondered about ghosting = browsing and handling this as well.
