Yep... in further explanation, kinda make it like "hyperlink text" which
is either underlined and/or a different color.  One merely clicks
on it, and action ensues:  In this case, the subs screen is called
and the sub-routine is displayed for editing.  One can then switch out,
back to the main editing screen (main program code, not subs).  As
a matter of fact, it could be further developed by allowing any
sub-routine to be minimized similar to the "watch" window, or maximized
to full screen.  Maybe a left mouse click to minimize, right to maximize,
or assign combinations of keys/clicks in a user defined setting(s).
In other words... zoom in... zoom out...highlight to do it.
