Oooh. Red face.
As embarrassing as it is, I'll explain why I hadn't found that, in 
case there is someone else with the same affliction.

When I run axiom, the HyperDoc window pops up and says 'AXIOM HyperDoc 
Top Level'. I click on, say, Reference to look for something. A second 
window pops up on top of the first window. I poke around for a while, 
using the home and/or up-arrow buttons to get back to the top. At the 
top I see 'Axiom Reference' and no home or up-arrow button, and as a 
very confused newbie forget that there's another window hiding behind 
this one. (I had actually came across a reference to Browse at one 
point and couldn't figure out why I couldn't find it, but then forgot 
about it.)

The lack of a home or up-arrow button at the top level of a 
second-level item like Reference or Browse is a result of wanting 
those things to open in separate windows. Would it be reasonable or 
feasible to have those second-level windows open with offsets from the 
parent Top Level window?
