You probably explained it well.  I'm pretty thick at times.

I couldn't live without C-u,C-c,C-x,b.  :-)

I like the idea of using agenda as a browser.  I like have multiple
windows open in a frame to look at multiple files (or projects) side
by side at once.  Early on, agenda got a little crazy if you used it
with multiple windows and I used to run org in the same session where
I did all my source editing.  I'd easily have 5 or more windows in a
frame.  I'll have to see if it will work if I have just two windows in
the agenda frame.

The key binding would be easy if there were a search subtree function.
 Looking through org.el, I'm thinking there isn't.  Likewise, there
doesn't appear to be a hook for agenda following.  I could be wrong as
I'm still getting to know lisp and org.el.
