	Finalize		Finalizes a Trace object.
	Valid_State		Returns false iff a Trace object is in an invalid state.
	Operations
	Initialized		Returns true iff a Trace object has been initialized.

Trace public defined type:

	Trace type
	Dimensionality		The number of dimensions that the index has.
	Index1, Index2		The index values, which may be modified by the communications package.
	Initialized		Initialization status.
	Trace		The trace for the communication associated with the index.

The Trace Class code listing contains additional documentation.
