all methods supported by the object or interface OBJ along
with the prototypes for these methods.

Here are the two extra files needed

UPDATED: Here’s a script of the above instructions in case you get an error: testtws.m

Follow along in notes above and it should be clear enough.

Like I mentioned, please suggest how the process might be improved if you have ideas. Anything else is welcome too.
