Greetings,
As with everything, there are different ways of accomplishing the "goal".
Some background info:
Boston WorkStation scripts can be contained in something called a Project.
Any number of scripts can "live" in a project. And of course whatever is in
the Project can be shared by all the scripts therein.  A project can live on
a file system - or in a database. 

Boston WorkStation scripts can also be "contained" in an compiled executable
(which of course requires Visual Studio etc.)

As for the actual question now:

Here's some ideas that are "Project deployment" specific
1. BWD file- this is a "template" (basically a regular Project) that would
contain the commonly used items. Every time a new project is started it
would automatically have all the "common routines"
2. Common routines are contained in a Module that can get imported to new
projects
3. Common routines compiled into a DLL- script references them as it would
any other DLL
4. Common routines contained in a Project that gets called from the source
project *Subject to network latency issues if these are not "together"
obviously.

Obviously compiled scripts are no different than any other compiled
applications in how you accomplish the above.

Regards,
Thom

Subject: [Talk] General Functions 

In web scipting, we usually just create a script file (.js, .asp, etc...)
and put all our general functions in it and include the file.  This reduces
repetitive coding.    

I want to be able to do the same in Boston.  I want to create a file (class
file?, library?) with all the general functions (logins, repetitive code,
etc) I will be using for all our scripts.  How to do this within Boston so I
can use it with all scripts.   I want to be able to reference to it and just
call a function.

Thanks.
