Getting more from a Win Mobile 5 device

[flet]

Hi,

I'm playing w/ GLBasic which looks pretty cool so far. My goal is to develop utilities (and games?) for PDAs, starting with WM5 devices.
I can't figure how to perform I/O operations, such as:
- read/write on COM ports (necessary to get GPS data)
- get the list of contacts
- trigger a phone call or send an SMS
- copy/paste to/from the WM5 clipboard
- fire up the mail utility and create an new email

... all these little things that make the difference between a nice app and a really cool app.

Thanks for help

Oh dear. You will have to use the DECLARE command for that. Google for a mobilde devoloper newsgroup.

Working late, uh ;-)?

So - my understanding is: I need to use the INLINE feature and jolt down a couple of lines of C++ code, right? Any doc available on which flavour of C++ to use?
Also: are there any undocumented functions in GLBasic? If not, what about creating a couple of extra handy functions, such as string or number manipulation (explicit conversion, rounding, left$, right$, trimming, padding, regexps (am I asking too much ;-) )
Cheers
