Adding a New Documentation Type

1. Subclass FileNode
2. Implement the following methods:
   • Constructor: builds the object with the given URL reference.
   • Traverse Directory: Either load the given file or descend into the directory, loading a JTree with the appropriate FileNode objects.
   • Display: Display the FileNode in the navigation window. If null, it uses the defaults. Otherwise, it is a DefaultTreeCellRenderer.
   • Load Page: Load a page of documentation into the given HTML browser.
3. Add a new 'Magic' entry to FileNode
