ADD-COLUMNS-FROM method

If you want all or most of the columns from the query’s buffer to be displayed in the browse, use the ADD-COLUMNS-FROM method:

browse-handle:ADD-COLUMNS-FROM (buffer-name [ , except-list ] ).

If you specify a comma-separated except-list expression, the columns in the list are not included in the browse. All other columns from the buffer-name are included. If the browse’s query uses more than one buffer, you can invoke ADD-COLUMNS-FROM more than once on different buffers used by the query.
