Namespacing of Routines and RPCs

Each tutorial user should choose a unique namespace beginning with Z, concatenated with two or three other letters, for example ZYXU. Use this namespace as the beginning of the names for all routines and RPCs that you create during this tutorial. Using your namespace protects the system you are using from having existing routines and RPCs overwritten. This namespace is referred to as Zxxx during the tutorial.
