If possible could you explain it a little clearer. Sorry to be a pain but the user manual I have doesn't cover anything like that.

I assume you have dark basic (classic) and not pro... if you bought dark matter you should have it's latest version since the update was on the CD (or maybe from other sources). The update added some new DLL (dynamic link library) commands:

- load DLL
- delete DLL
- call DLL

you can write a DLL using C++, then load the DLL into your dark basic project and call any function you previously wrote in C++ within that DLL. You will have to learn how to make DLL's though, check out ianM's site, there should be something useful in there to get you started out.

There is also a section in c:\program files\dark basic software\dark basic in a folder called "Your Own Commands". I'm guessing that's the dll section you're looking for.
