Rexx builtin function module

[Robert Hodge]

I am interested in developing a thinBasic module to implement as many Rexx builtin functions as possible. The goal is to simplify porting of Rexx scripts to thinBasic.

For example, a Rexx TRANSLATE function, with one operand, does what UCASE$ does, while a call to TRANSLATE(STR,NEW,OLD) is essentially what REPLACE$(STR,OLD,NEW) does. The net result is that porting of Rexx code is pretty hard, even though functionally thinBasic is quite comparable.

My current problem is that the documentation for creating a module is pretty limited. The thinBasic doc for the Module SDK is all blank.

Is there some "prototype" or sample module I could look at for an idea how to go about doing this? Is there documentation laying around that never got into the official docs?

Any help in this area would be appreciated.
