Adding custom extensions
In addition to adding the custom routines, dialog boxes, and programs in their respective folders, you must also add the file containing the custom extension to the Support Files folder. However, if you have more than one routine, dialog box, or program in a file, you need only add that file to the Support Files folder once.
