I have read a lot about the term API.  I have searched the web and documentation and cannot find "API" is an abbreviation for? And, I cannot find a definition of what an API is?  If someone could help me on this I would appreciate it.  All the documentation I have assumes that the reader knows what an API is.   Thanks, Ken Janusz, CPIM
