'Samuel' is Rob Pike's 'sam' with some additions, those being the ability
to run 'cin' (C interpreter) on selected text, an 'advisor', which would
print the data type definition of selected text, and the 'browser', which
was an interface to cfront. Invoking 'browser' would fork a cscope
process running in line-oriented mode, and on button 3 were the
various search items that you will see in the normal cscope interface,
somewhat abbreviated. So you could select a piece of text, a name
of a function say, select 'calls to this function', and the results would
be added to the button 3 menu; selecting one of these takes you to
the file and line number in the cscope output.
There is one further addition, 'smudge'. It allows you to put a mark on
a place in a text file and assign an arbitrary name to it; these marks
then appear on a cascaded button 3 menu---select a mark, return to
that piece of text.
