`SectionBrowser.``select`()
  Syntax:
    `.select()`
  Description:
    currently accessed section is highlighted.

`SectionBrowser.``select_action`()
  Syntax:
    `sb.select_action("command")`
  Description:
    Command is executed when an item is selected (single click or dragging) by the mouse. Before execution, the selected section is pushed. (and popped after the command completes.) Command is executed in the object context in which `select_action` registered it.

  Example:

  >     begintemplate Cell
  >     public soma, dend, axon
  >     create soma, dend[3], axon
  >     endtemplate Cell

  >     objref sb, cell[3]
  >     for i=0,2 cell[i] = new Cell()
  >     sb = new SectionBrowser()
  >     sb.select_action("act()")

  >     proc act() {
  >             printf("currently accessed section is %s\n", secname())
  >     }

`SectionBrowser.``accept_action`()
  Syntax:
    `sb.accept_action("command")`
  Description:
    Command is executed when an item is accepted (double click) by the mouse. Before execution, the selected section is pushed. (and popped after the command completes.) Command is executed in the objet context in which the `accept_action` registered it.

  Example:

  >     create soma, dend[3], axon
  >     objref sb
  >     sb = new SectionBrowser()
  >     sb.accept_action("act()")

  >     proc act() {
  >         printf("currently accessed section is %s\n", secname())
  >     }
