There are a couple of more user friendly ways to implement this:
1: Use a property setting form. Users fill in the blanks. Disadvantage is
that you can't predict every function a user may want to implement on
their own.
2: "Smart" function editing as done in Gupta SQLWindows and less
successfully in Omnis7. You select the function from a pick list and it is
added to your code with the argument names filled in. You then set each
argument. This exposes the less technically inclined to the code but
makes for less errors.
3: Use Perl :-)

So when the user elects to create a VB function, is the result compiled
or interpreted and how does the performance compare with equivalent
functions written in C? Is this documented anywhere?
