You can call any DarkBasic command with it. I explained how in an older thread, lemme look for it...

You don't need the globstruct to call custom plugins, all you need is a windows function which I can't seem to remember right now (GetModuleHandle? something like that). It will give you the handle to the DLL you want. Then just use GetProcAddress to get the pointer to the function you want to call.

Yeah, but remember to change the function's type accordingly, or you'll be getting random crashes...
int (*sync)( int, char, float, pie ); // Will probably crash, as the sync function doesn't expect those parameters.
Also, after GetProcAddress, make sure to verify that it didn't return 0, as calling that will certainly send you back to the debugger.

I'm at work right now, but at home I have a set of .H files that you just include to your project to add all these commands. I can send it to your e-mail if you like.
