- I *strongly* recommend that you adopt a system for allowing users to
- add their own databases. One of the strengths of the Programmers
- Online Companion is this very feature. The advantage is that if you're
- using a third party library, say Inside Out, you can add the library
- calls to your database, rather than looking them up in a manual each time.

- again. Think of Quark Xtensions, Photoshop plug ins, 4D Xternals, even
- HyperCard.)
