This is indeed the eventual goal. After I get the interface for doing:
open
close
select ... where
update
insert
delete
a tie() interface would be the next step. As I mentioned before, if I can
get my hands on some docs for the appropriate AppleEvent descriptor strings
for FMP3, I can come up with a basic FileMaker.pm, upon which other people
can expand. It's simply frustrating that's the only thing I'm missing now.
So close, yet so far, *sigh*. Come to think of it, as an act of
desperation, I will go digging into "Inside Macintosh".
