[ROOT] TreeViewer questions

I've finally got around to fiddling with TreeViewer and have some questions on how to work it with ntuples. I've been using 3.10.01 on both linux and XP.

*	If I start the viewer from scratch (no open file) and try to open a file, I just get a message on the console telling me to use the right-pane context menu to set a tree name. I can do that, but nothing comes of it. No file (or tree) appears in the left pane.
*	On linux how do I navigate to a different filesystem with File/Open?
*	Ok, so if I start it from an existing tree (chain actually in my case), I cannot seem to reset the tree name, even though the (chained) files contain more than one tree in fact.
*	Is there a way to set an expression to be an existing TCut? It seems to always try to evaluate it as an expression from the ntuple columns.
*	Does the progress bar do anything during a Draw? I have yet to see it be different from 0.
*	What does the red "record" button do?

 It seems a pretty handy-dandy tool for ntuple analysis, especially if I could figure out these usability issues!

Thanks,

Richard
