Make it clear how to go back to the list of models once the driver is activated #89

This is a comment or question from several students during the MN lab.

Once a model / driver has been selected, they did not realize that they had to 'delete' the currently selected driver to get back to the list of components.

So their model panel looks like this and they want to 'go back'. screen shot 2014-08-25 at 10 32 38 am

One possible suggestion: add a small back arrow icon on the lefthand corner and do the same action as a 'delete'.

Another possible suggestion: change the wording for 'delete'? Perhaps 'remove'?

@mcflugen & I discussed this, and I changed "Delete" to "Close". This is appealing because it maps, loosely, to the conventional "File > Close" menu item. Would this be OK?

Maybe, it would be a step.

I think the issue is not in the wording perse, but in the fact that people do not know how to 'go back'. Students did not rightclick, but were searching for a back arrow somewhere.
