Please note that at this stage we are only examining use of the Webel '$opt$' help holders conventions in lower-level packages, which rely on "manual" naming conventions; in later slides we'll see how Webel extensions of MTools for OO such as the MOpt class can be used to encapsulate the help holders for the Webel options convention.
