Active X support

[Richard Gaskin]

There has been much debate in this thread, including presumption of what the
folks at RunRev would feel or should feel is important.  But please note
that the RunRev folks have not spoken for themselves on this yet one way or
another.  We could continue this conjecture, or we could pursue results:

The use-rev list is primarily for user-to-user assistance.  Feature requests
are normally channelled through the improve-rev list.  As with any other
feature request, just propose a spec for how you would like to access
ActiveX components to that list and watch what happens....

The spec proposal is an important ingredient of a useful feature request.
It may or may not be implemented as initially proposed, but the ensuing
discussion will refine things for the greatest benefit for the greatest
number of users.

With an ActiveX proposal, one of the core issues will affect many of us:
assigning data types.  This is not a trivial issue in a typeless 4GL, so it
will take some thought (although ToolBook's sybtax provides a useful
starting point).
