Wayne,
In the first module (call it A) be sure you have marked with '*' those
procedures, variables, constants, and types that you want the second
module (B) to see. To reveal what A looks like to the world type its
name (without .odc) into the log file, highlight the name and then press
Ctrl-D. You should see a window that says DEFINITION A showing
you all the public entities you have exported when tagged with the "*" mark.
If you have exported procedure P in module A then from module B all you need
to do is call it as A.P within some procedure of B, say Caller.
To test all this, at the end of B (after 'END B.' or even in the log
file) place a 'commander'
by typing Ctrl-Q (which shows up as a large black circle) and then the
calling
procedure. For discussion let '()' be that large black circle, then you
type
()B.Caller
By clicking on the black circle you execute the procedure B.Caller which
will
then call A.P within it.
Hope this helps.
