   =head2 Creating a Helper With Code, Not XML
   
   In some situations, such as the printing wizard (see lonprintout.pm), 
   writing the helper in XML would be too complicated, because of scope 
   issues or the fact that the code actually outweighs the XML. It is
   possible to create a helper via code, though it is a little odd.
   
   Creating a helper via code is more like issuing commands to create
   a helper then normal code writing. For instance, elements will automatically
   be added to the last state created, so it's important to create the 
   states in the correct order.
   
   First, create a new helper:
   
    use Apache::lonhelper;
   
    my $helper = Apache::lonhelper::new->("Helper Title");
   
   Next you'll need to manually add states to the helper:
   
    Apache::lonhelper::state->new("STATE_NAME", "State's Human Title");
   
   You don't need to save a reference to it because all elements up until
   the next state creation will automatically be added to this state.
   
   Elements are created by populating the $paramHash in 
   Apache::lonhelper::paramhash. To prevent namespace issues, retrieve 
   a reference to that has with getParamHash:
   
    my $paramHash = Apache::lonhelper::getParamHash();
   
   You will need to do this for each state you create.
   
   Populate the $paramHash with the parameters for the element you wish
   to add next; the easiest way to find out what those entries are is
   to read the code. Some common ones are 'variable' to record the variable
   to store the results in, and NEXTSTATE to record a next state transition.
   
   Then create your element:
   
    $paramHash->{MESSAGETEXT} = "This is a message.";
    Apache::lonhelper::message->new();
   
   The creation will take the $paramHash and bless it into a
   Apache::lonhelper::message object. To create the next element, you need
   to get a reference to the new, empty $paramHash:
   
    $paramHash = Apache::lonhelper::getParamHash();
   
   and you can repeat creating elements that way. You can add states
   and elements as needed.
   
   See lonprintout.pm, subroutine printHelper for an example of this, where
   we dynamically add some states to prevent security problems, for instance.
   
   Normally the machinery in the XML format is sufficient; dynamically 
   adding states can easily be done by wrapping the state in a <condition>
   tag. This should only be used when the code dominates the XML content,
   the code is so complicated that it is difficult to get access to
   all of the information you need because of scoping issues, or so much
   of the information used is persistent because would-be <exec> or 
   <eval> blocks that using the {DATA} mechanism results in hard-to-read
   and -maintain code.
   
   It is possible to do some of the work with an XML fragment parsed by
   lonxml; again, see lonprintout.pm for an example.
