I'd volunteer to work with Chris to create the primer even though I'm
deliberately ignorant of C.

Trevor,
Unlike most of us on this list, you are already an accomplished C
programmer. In fact, you have successfully written a couple VERY NICE
externals for RR!
Now, I wonder, how many others on this list would take the time to
learn the correct C interfaces to the WinAPI (I'm sure Ken would!). As
feature requests are made, the RR team has to factor how many users
would benefit from them.
Also, as you recall at the Rev Summit in CA, Chris Bohnert
demonstrated how easy it is to create an external for RR. One which
can call a Win32API if needed. So, it seems to me, an interim step
would be a really good primer for creating externals for RR. 'Cause
even with a WinAPI interface embedded in the language, users will
still need to learn a lot to be able to use it.
best,
Chipp
