Overview of Expand Library functions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Functions in the Expand Library guide are presented in a
similar fashion, grouped by functionality into blocks,
such as "High Level" MOUSE functions or 1-2-3 related functions.
The functions have not been ordered alphabetically on
purpose, as it is probably clearer to find out the relating
functions this way. The 'Functionality Blocks' are ordered in
random order.
As the number of Functions was growing, I thought it would be
easier to put every "Block" of functions in a list, under the
main list of functions. I hope the documentation is clearer this
way. Browsing through a very long list get's difficult and unclear.
Every block is preceded by a Small "Overview", containing some
information about the block of functions.
A complete alfabetical List is included for easy reference, when you
want to look for a function by name. The list contains all functions,
the description merely consists of a "See Also" reference to the
function's description, not the function itself. Can be useful when
one wants to look for a function by name, or for a complete overview
of the Expand Library functions. Let's hope it's a good addition.
Also note the annotation of New, Changed and Corrected functions.
Every function is described in a similar fashion, beginning
by some general comments about the function's purpose and/or
typical usage. Sometimes there's also some technical information.
After that, the Clipper syntax is presented followed by a description
of arguments and/or return values. Finally there will generally be a
small part of Clipper code that demonstrates the function's typical
usage. "See Also" references can often be found.
Generally a group of function descriptions is headed by some
general comments about the functions, do read that information,
as it may contain valuable/important information about the functions
in the list.
Typical usage of most functions is well illustrated in the XPDEMO program.
Refer to those when it is not clear to find out how to use a function of
the Library. Some functions are quite specialized, where it is difficult
to explain it's usage without a complete Demo.
