Has anyone had experience documenting an object-oriented application that
exposes the underlying objects, types, instances, etc. right in the user
interface, and makes the user work with them? If so, how did you describe the
objects, types, instances, etc. without also providing a crash course in OO
concepts?

I'm not talking about an API guide here; the application will have a separate
API guide.

The problem is in coming up with terminology in the user guide that non-OO-aware
users can readily understand that won't conflict with strict OO terminology.
The application will have a wide range of users: some who know OO, some who
don't.

Thanks,
Christopher
