Engine.Interaction

// ====================================================================
//  Class:  Engine.Interaction
//  
//  Each individual Interaction is a jumping point in UScript.  The should
//  be the foundatation for any subsystem that requires interaction with
//  the player (such as a menu).  
//
//  Interactions take on two forms, the Global Interaction and the Local
//  Interaction.  The GI get's to process data before the LI and get's
//  render time after the LI, so in essence the GI wraps the LI.
//
//  A dynamic array of GI's are stored in the InteractionMaster while
//  each Viewport contains an array of LIs.
