The evening's progress

I am happy to report that the ListUsers utility is done. This then completes the set of utilities for managing accounts and completes as well the utilities needed by COODBMS administrators. In the process I also implemented a listChildren operation which will have considerable general utility.

I've also added two very handy commands to browse: show and protocol. The show command displays the currently selected element and all subordinate elements using RoleML. And the protocol command toggles the display of the RoleML requests/responses to/from the server.

I'll note that the intended audience of browse is developers. For while browse lets you see the data (which is helpful for everyone), it should prove helpful for developers trying to figure out how to write and process RoleML. And the protocol command in particular should be quite helpful for that.
