Do you think it might be easier to look for VB stuff, eg:

While I'm not about to download and install Borland/Watcom/etc myself, if you
select one of the less complicated styles, and email me a smallish example, I'll
have a go. Actually, belay that, I just found the link above and would prefer you
investigate that first.
One thing I would be keen to see is a way to integrate the help with Edita: if
you have abc.dll and abc.hlp (or abc.chm) and you create abc.inc which defines
abcfunc(), then I'd like Edita to be able to scan abc.inc and add "abcfunc" to
it's F1 help system. Maybe just something simple like:
-- xx.inc: wrapper for xx.dll
...
--F1HELP:xx.hlp
-- <or> xx.chm
-- <or> http://www.xx.org/search?term=
...
--F1:abcfunc
global function abcfunc(...)

Pete
