Most WOM elements correspond to Object Rexx classes. For
example, the TextField tag corresponds to a TextField
class supplied with the run-time library. When the compiler encounters
such an element inside a WOM file, it will generate code to make an
instance of that class and add it to a list inside the class
the file is compiled into. When that class is asked to emit itself, it
will run down this list and ask each element to emit itself.
If any attributes are given with the element, the compiler will generate
code to initialise them. The element
<TextField size=10 value="0">
would thus be translated into something like
.TextField~new()~~setsize(10)~~setvalue("0")
