Using a TBrowser one can browse all ROOT objects.

It shows in a list on the left side of the window all browsable ROOT classes. Selecting one of the classes displays, in the icon-box on the right side, all objects in the class. Selecting one of the objects in the icon-box, will place all browsable objects in a new list and draws the contents of the selected class in the icon-box. And so on....
