RE: Writing Commands, how-to manual where?

["Graap, Ken" <keg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the best resources I've cone across is Jim Sloan's TAATOOLS.... First
of all, the product includes the entire source for the TAATOOL command set
and learning from example has always been my preference. He also has a tool
called:

                Retrieve Command Source - TAA (RTVCMDSRC)

It can be used to retrieve the source of just about ANY command. 

I'd recommend that you take a look at this option.

I found the "Desktop Guide to Creating CL Commands" by Lynn Nelson, (c) 1996
by Duke Press, ISBN 1-882419-56-1, to be pretty good; it explains many of
the more subtle features and how they interact. It is now officially "out of
print" but you may find it for sale "used" on the Internet (Amazon, BN,
AbeBooks, etc.)
