Hi, IMHO: I am wondering why BASIC married with shared libs is out of consideration as developer level interface ? For example, application developer can put user hooks in appropriate places of his code. The call to the hook can return error code if no end-user extension supplied, can make built-in basic interpreter to run predefined file, or make a call to a function implemented as part of shared library. The BASIC-program of said function can be of any complexity and could call any underlying mechanism public will agree upon. The procedural language has very substantial advantage - it is the most natural way for human beings to describe its activities. Aleksey
