Class como.sys.Msg 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----como.sys.Msg
public class Msg
extends Object
This is used for sending messages over the net. A Msg can include an object that implements Saveable. Some classes are inherently supported (String, Integer, Dictionary) Just like an Event, a Msg has a type (integer). For your own messages you can pick any types > 10000. We strongly recommend increasing the numbers the further you go down the Object hierarchy. For messages, type should be >0. Right now, answers are implemented as negative types. The answer is the inverse of the question.
