Jerome, there is an execellent book on writing XCMDs called "XCMD's for
HyperCard" by Gary Bond (put out by MIS: Press).  It is filled with example
XCMDs in MPW Pascal and LSC (almost every example is in both languages).

It is practically a required text for XCMD/XFCN writers and is clearly
written to boot (I'll leave off all disparaging comments about Inside Mac).

You can also order a disk that contains all the source examples discussed
in the book (though most of the source that's general enough to be worth
copying is short enough to enter by hand w/out much problem).
