Allesandro, we just went over this topic a few weeks back. It's detailed in
the tip at my site:

http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/ext002.htm

Basically an DLL is either built exclusively for Revolution using the
headers/source provided in the Externals kit, or it is a third party DLL (a
"normal" DLL"). Revolution externals are loaded with the "set the externals
to <list of externals>" command (see "externals" in the Transcript
Dictionary), and third party DLLs *can* be used, but you have to provide an
intermediary to call them (see the tip).

Hope this helps,
