     The Source Browser displays the Ambiguous Name dialog box when it
     cannot determine the exact reference to an overloaded or partially
     specified name. You must resolve the ambiguity by choosing the
     specific instance of a name before the browser can continue.
 
     The list box under 'Which version of this name?' displays a list of
     specific candidates. Select the name that you want to use and
     choose OK.
 
     You can take advantage of the Ambiguous Name dialog box by typing
     a partially qualified name in any Name box. The browser then
     displays the Ambiguous Name dialog box, which lists all the
     specific names that match the partial qualification.
 
     Specify:                To list:
 
     <class>::               Members of <class>.
 
     <class>::<member>       Members of <class> that are named <member>.
 
     <function>              Global functions named <function> and
                             member functions named <function> for all
                             classes.
 
     operator<op>            All operator<op> global functions and
                             member functions.
 
     <class>::operator<op>   All operator<op> member functions in
                             <class>.
 
     <class>::<class>        User-defined constructors for <class>. The
                             browser never lists compiler-generated
                             constructors.
 
     <class>::~<class>       User-defined destructors for <class>.
