I believe that filepro is normally limited to only 1
browse at a time.  I think that John Esak discovered a
work-around for this, though, with his slick "Pig"
code.  You may want to check that out if you have not
already.

To answer your question as to what is the point, I
would say the point is to be able to show a browse
without accepting keystrokes, when only one browse is
needed.
