Do to demand I have put a tiny ObjMsg page up at:

http://www.astro.cornell.edu/staff/jdsmith/objmsg/objmsg.htm l

It's just a skeleton of a page, and, as it mentions, without examples and
details, ObjMsg doesn't seem to have much utility. Basically, ObjMsg is just a
set of conventions for method extensions and some convenient housekeeping. The
real meat of this paradigm exists in inheriting classes, some of which I hope to
clean up and post at some point. For instance, the "Start" method convention
doesn't even exist at this high level, but originates one level down in a
so-called broker class. It's not really as complicated as it sounds.

Anyway, comments are welcome.

JD
