Hi,

I found the whitepaper very useful and informative,  but I think it needs a lot more examples.  For instance it doesn't tell if the messages can go the other way.

For instance,  the example tells you that you get the plugin list from the server right after logging in,   so in this case,   I would get:

 CLIENT <|> PLUGIN_LIST <|>
  id <|> name <|> category <|> copyright <|> description <|> summary <|> family
  id <|> name <|> category <|> copyright <|> description <|> summary <|> family
  ...
  <|> CLIENT

Note,  I used "CLIENT" because this is addressed to me (a client) just after I log into the server.

I would assume I could then give it a new message list....   like so:

 SERVER <|> PLUGIN_LIST <|>
  id <|> name <|> category <|> copyright <|> description <|> summary <|> family
  id <|> name <|> category <|> copyright <|> description <|> summary <|> family
  ...
  <|> SERVER

As mentioned in the Whitepaper.   But what about instances where I want to get back the list again.   Would I have to log out and log back in again,  Or is there a command I can issue to get the list again?

I assume the dialog and protocol would be rather short,  but do you know where I can find more examples that more then just this one?
