    Since many ST-80 classes are subclasses of ApplicationModel, this class

    is provided here to allow easier porting of ST-80 code.

    It does not (currently) provide all functionality and is NOT

    compatible to the corresponding ST80 class; therefore, manual

    changes have to be made to get those applications to run under ST/X.

    (but at least, this enables you to fileIn that code and have a superclass

     for them)

    As time goes by, ST/X applications are going to be converted to

    become subclasses of this abstract class - see Launcher for a

    first concrete example.

    ApplicationModel is prepared to build a view from a windowSpec, as

    created by the windowBuilder. If your subclass does not provide such

    a spec, you should at least redefine:

        #openInterface   - to create a topview and open it

    you may want to redefine:

        #closeRequest    - to catch window closing

        #focusSequence   - to define a sequence for focus-stepping

    Once the interfaceBuilder is finished & released, subclasses can

    alternatively provide the spec via a #windowSpec method.

    The classResources have been put into this class to allow ST/X

    applications (which used to be subclasses of StandardSystemView)

    to migrate smoothly into ApplicationModels (which is better design ...).

                                        a window hierarchy from a specification

    Notice: this class was implemented using protocol information

    from alpha testers and PD code - it may not be complete or compatible to

    the corresponding ST-80 class. If you encounter any incompatibilities,

    please forward a note to the ST/X team.
