Programmer's Guide: This reference is intended for programmers who: 1. want to write their own modules for use with Data Explorer, or 2. want to write applications which incorporate Data Explorer modules or use the Data Explorer data model, or 3. want to write applications which directly control the Data Explorer executive or user interface. Programmers using this reference should be familiar with Data Explorer (in particular, its data model).
