Operation template

1) If the operation should be automatically added, add the following line to 
	dish.g (to the function private.defaultops):
	public.addop('filename.g','filename') where filename is the ctor.
   If want to add the operation after creation of the new DISH tool, it can be 
	added as above by calling your toolname's addop function.
2) Write the following:

filename.g                              filenamegui.g
include 'filenamegui.g'                 include 'widgetserver.g'
const filename := function(ref itsdish) const filenamegui:=subsequence(parent,
                                          itsop, logcommand, widgetserver=dws)
