]create ns -browse
]import ns -browse

could open a browse box (better yet, one implemented using HTMLRenderer if possible).

This could make it less cumbersome to enter long path names and also reduce the likelihood of inadvertently creating a mistyped path.

Or maybe that could even happen automatically if no path was provided?

I was thinking that as well, but if you only give one argument, then that's taken as the path, with the namespace defaulting to the current namespace, so we'd either need heuristics as to whether a lone argument is a namespace or filepath, or we could say that if NO arguments are given, we do the current namespace + browsing. We could of course also do any combination of these three options.

I guess supporting RIDE would not be trivial.

Well, really, it should be the other way around. RIDE should have a menu item to open a dir, then send the appropriate command to Link
