I have to write an XFNC, and my book (the hypercard handbook) says to little about this subject. Can anyone help? Can you please send me (shani@Math.Tau.Ac.IL or shani@taurus), a short example of an XFNC so I can see ho it recives parameters and how it returns answer. I prefer something wich is written for Lightspeed-C, but Tourbo-Pascal is okay too. I also unerstand that the XFNC should be added to the resource fork of the Hypercard program itself, how exactly? what name and type should it have? AdvThanksance O.S.

You ask for help writing external functions for HyperCard. An excellent book exists on the subject, written by a member of the HyperCard Testing Team:
XCMD's For HyperCard by Gary Bond
publisher: MIS Press, Box 5277, Portland OR 97208
$24.95
The book covers both XCMD's and XFCN's.
