         OS/2 Work Place Shell Sample Program - Address Book

                         Dan Kehn (74140,3263)

  This example implements a simple address book.  An address book 
  contains "people" who have names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.  

  The address book is implemented as a subclass of the WPS folder 
  class, WPFolder.  Subclassing WPFolder has the advantage of 
  inheriting standard folder behavior, especially the Icon, 
  Settings, and Details view.  The address book adds an additional
  view, "Indexed View", which is an alphabetically-tabbed view of
  the persons within the address book.

  The person object contained within the address book is 
  implemented as a subclass of WPAbstract.  Subclassing WPAbstract 
  has the advantage of inheriting base WPS object behavior like 
  drag/drop, pop-up menu, and the Settings view.  The person 
  class adds an additional "Info" page to the Settings view where
  the user can change an address, phone number, etc.
