Wayne,

The module name makes it all. So, let's assume, your module is called "Mine". Your code has to look like this:

MODULE BugsMine;
.
.
.
END BugsMine.

This is case sensitive!

if you do this, compiling such a text will place the .ocf and the .osf in the sym and code directory of Subsystem (that's what we call packages) Bugs (which, IIRC, is the subsystem for WinBugs).

You save your module as Bugs\Mod\Mine.odc. (though windows is not case sensitive in filenames, make sure to use the same cases in the filename as in the module, or using some special BB-functionalities will be difficult!)

When there is something in your module that has to be accessible from the outside (variables, commands, functions...), you have to EXPORT them. this is done by placing an asterisk (read and write) or a minus (readonly) after the name of what you want to export.

No module will be loaded, before some of its code is executed. That is: If you do not use a module, it will not be loaded. If you only import it, but the importing module is not loaded, your module will not be loaded.

The RSRC-directory is only for the GUI.

Since I don't know what you're trying to do, I don't know, if you're doing it right ;-).

Hope that helps.
