The phrase "Look Inside" is quite prevalent in Ptolemy II docs and models.
We use "Look Inside" for looking inside actors and composite actors.
Thus, in the short term anyway, I'd like to stick with "Look Inside"
for Ptolemy II.  However, Kepler should be able to have "Open Actor"
here.

It sounds like the Kepler community would like to modify the UI so that
one cannot look at the source of atomic actors.  Probably the thing to do
would be to modify ptolemy.vergil.actor.ActorController so that it check
for an attribute in the configuration and then handles atomic actors specially.

If anyone wants to hack in ActorController, I'm all for it, especially
if they make it so the current "Look Inside" works in Ptolemy II and they
stick with the coding style.

Personally, I'm against not making the actor source code available, but
Kepler is a different project with different users and there are probably 
good reasons to do it this way.

One side issue we discussed was having "Look Inside" look for the actor
source locally and then look on the website if the source could not be found.
This remote search should probably be configurable.  The about:copyright feature
in ptolemy.actor.gui uses a similar remote reference if the local file
cannot be found.
