_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     gMessage is a virtual class from which all other message classes
     will  inherit.  Message objects will be created whenever there is
     communication between the model, view, and controller components
     or between MVC objects.

_O_b_j_e_c_t_s _f_r_o_m _t_h_e _C_l_a_s_s:

     A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:

     No methods defined with class "gMessage" in the signature. 
     However, all message classes will have a handleMessage method that
     will read the message and notify the appropriate components so
     that the information in the message can be acted upon.  The
     handleMessage methods will be defined in packages that use this
     package, such as iSPlot and iSNetwork.
