Thanks for the clarification!
This is very fun.  I think I already used breakpoint and snapshot to raise 
something in particular.  Since the homepage of baseball is appearing, I 
tried to load the Players, and I got an error around here:

     xf = /#|$/;
     yf = function (a, b) {
         var c = a.search(xf);

Thanks to the breakpoint I was able to echo local 'a' and 'b' !
'a' is an object and is definitely window.location.  You can tell by its 
member names.
b is a string.  xf is a regular expression.
So look what it does next.  It seems like we have a collision between 
location.search and String.search(//).  When it tries to a.search(xf), it 
crashes:
TypeError: '' not callable (property 'search' of [object Object])


Karl, you talk about this at line 701 in startwindow.
/*
Can't turn URL.search into String.search, because search is already a 
property
of URL, that is, the search portion of the URL.
mw0.URL.prototype.search = function(s) {
return this.toString().search(s);
}
*/

Can the getter handle both things by differentiating on whether or not 
anything was sent in?
