Implementing Help for Distributed Objects, C++ Clients, and OO Glish

Once the protocol for help is agreed to - possibly including some modification of the atoms mentioned above - this same protocol can be applied to other software entities. For example, we could sensibly decree that glish clients written for AIPS++ respond to a standard set of help events.4 The same would apply to AIPS++ distributed objects: it looks now like there will be a fundamental base class for tasking, and this base class is the natural place to include a standard help method or methods. In the same spirit, when Glish gets objects, it will be easy to translate the current functional approach to object methods.
