If I understand your question correctly, all of this type of work is described
under "Server Programming", in "C Language Functions". I'm looking at the
documentation for release 7.3. Attached is a C function that is called by
several of my triggers which interfaces with a third party mileage program
API.

Hope this helps...

"Honesty does not require posturing. In fact, the two things are incom-
 patible. Nor does objectivity require neutrality.... Objectivity refers
 to an honest seeking of the truth, whatever that truth may turn out to
 be and regardless of what its implications might be. Neutrality refers
 to a preconceived 'balance,' which subordinates the truth to this pre-
 conception.... The truth is where you find it -- and you don't find it
 with a preconceived 'balance' expressed in mealy mouth words."
