Can't figure out how to link a program

[Blake McBride]

Dear Alexandre,

Thank you for your response.  With that little information I was able to 
get my entire system working.  Two or three very simple examples showing 
all the steps in the docs would be worth their weight in gold and would 
be so easy to do.  It's also a shame I had to send the inquiry through 
three different channels before getting an answer.

Thank you very much for your quick response.  I t made all the difference.

Respectfully,

Blake McBride
