+   This class creates a dialog (with the instructions) and is the interface
+   for sending text messages to the user.
+   To print the instructions, send an array of strings to
+   Sysout.createDialogWithInstructions() method.
+   Put one line of instructions per array entry.
+   To display a message for the tester to see, simply call Sysout.println()
+   with the string to be displayed.
+   This mimics System.out.println but works within the test harness as well
+   as standalone.
