Hi Stephen,

You can look at the JSON Library extension that we ship with LiveCode 8 
as an example of an LCB library.  The source code is here on GitHub:

https://github.com/livecode/livecode/blob/develop/extensions/libraries/json/json.lcb

Basically, you declare the module as a "library" instead of a "widget".

All "public" handlers are then added to the LiveCode message path, after 
everything else.

That's it!
