Let's say you have a few CODE resources and you want to execute
them (ala XCMDS in Hypercard). How do you do it?

I can get as far as opening the resource file, getting handles
to the CODE resources, but I don't know where to go from there?

I have actually been able to do this from Macintosh Allegro Common
Lisp because they provide the function, ff-call, which takes a
CODE resource handle and executes it. But, I don't know how ff-call
works or how I could accomplish this from C or Pascal.
