Is this possible to do: ??
Is it possible to access a common memory storage area from
within FOCUS ? i.e. pull in a string from a common area
or a mailbox and place it into an & variable ?
I am trying to pass parameters between executables/1032/Focus
etc. I have been able to do this by passing files back and
forth, but this is very slow.
Any ideas etc ? Thank You.

FOCUS allows you to develop your own (3GL) subroutines and place them
the FUSELIB run time library. You can declare a temporary field
in FOCUS which invokes the subroutine, with the appropriate parameters.
Since you are writing with a 3GL, all of the VAX/VMS system services
etc.. are available to you. ( e.g to read/write a mailbox)

I'm trying to develop much the same thing. Perhaps we could
communicate a bit? I'm at MEMCL1::COPPERSMITH 232-2246. Then
we could enter pertinent results of the dialogue here.
