Is there a method cross reference? (fwd)

[Tom G. Smith]

Thanks for the tip.  I couldn't get any output, however, when I put
"cells ListMethods" directly in my source, but rather had to enter
it on the command line in the interactor window.  Also, in what class
does the ListMethods method originate?  I expected to see ListMethods
listed in its own output.  When I didn't, I immediately assumed it
was in the highest level vtkObject class, but it's not listed on the
man page for vtkObject.
