A newbie aks how this was done

Hi there!

In the absence of a manual (still unavailable) and the upcoming book by Dan
Shafer 
(still unreleased) I have been teaching myself, as suggested, by first
dissecting the 
tutorials and now the example stacks that came with the app.  I have found
something 
that would be absolutely perfect for a current project, but as an absolute
non code-
writer, this thing, which is most like very easy to do, is a complete
mystery to me, no 
matter how hard I look at the inspectors and the scripts.  I am not even
sure these 
books will help when they are available, because many of the terms in the
scripts can 
be found neither in the built in glossary nor in the transcript dictionary,
so I suspect it 
was written in a different language (and I am not familiar with any
language at all).  I 
am talking about the "How to" object on the right side of the "Making
simple soap 
calls" card of the SOAP_toolbox.rev stack in the examples folder of version
2.0.2.  
Since it is not a substack, I can only describe it as a widow on a card
containing a 
number of navigable pages.  This is just what I need, but I can't make
heads or tails it, 
especially the script of the "rpcHowTo" object.

What language was this thing written in or did it come from Meta- or Super-
or 
HyperCard?  Is this something someone could explain to a non-code person in
a few 
minutes?  If not, where should I look to find out how to do this? (Books,
websites, 
other RunRev materials I don't have, et.)

Thanks and apologies for my ignorance!


Lars
