Uploaded all the Sequence Diagrams

I have uploaded all the Sequence Diagrams in one entry. They are now ready to be accessed relatively easy and in one location.

Will need to look up how to save data in the current language. For the design, I will "generisize" it as much as I can, but since I am now getting into saving file, I need to understand the language specifics of saving off data. Serialization is a big part of this. The Writer/Reader object that is created will need to handle this idea. Clearly, again, this is starting to get into language specifics.

Use Case 5 was a very large Sequence Diagram and it took a long time to figure out. There are still some issues related to it: like figuring out how and what format to save the data->this should be handled via object serialization. For now, I want to keep this as simple as possible. Once I get the basics of the application running, I can come back and look for other improvements: like saving the data to a database, and the intricacies of implementing that. I also, want to go ahead and print out this latest Sequence Diagram. Also, I need to go ahead and improve the development blog, and save off the diagrams here and on that blog.

I now have the Sequence Diagrams complete.

The next step is to improve the Static Class Diagrams. This can be accomplished via the Sequence Diagrams mapping out the Use Cases. There are some other responsibilities required in each class that is not documented in the Sequence Diagrams, that will need discernment as the design progresses.
