ORBIT-USER: Help needed for first-time experimenter

[semhatre at cc.gatech.edu]

Hello.

I am a new user of Orbit-lab. I intend to perform mobile adhoc network
experiments over Orbit-lab.
I read through the tutorial on the Orbit-lb website and understood the
architecture quite well. Even the Hello world experiment was done
without any problems.

But then when I went through the scripts like messenger.rb, otr.rb I was
not quite able to understand them thoroughly. The idea was clear but
then how it used the handler/appdefiniton classes, the use of prototype
classes, I couldn't get through.

I searched through Ruby documenteation and the online RUBY book to
understand these classes and prototype scripts but could not find any
help.

I want to know where I can learn more about these classes which are
specific to Nodehandler and Orbit. Is there some document available?
Please let me know about this as I have to write my own scripts to test
my experiments.

Thanks and Regards,
Swapnil Mhatre
