Re: register an hook

[Nicola Padovano <nicola.padovano@gmail.com>]

ok jan, thank you! i'm sorry but i'm a very newbie in this field.
anyway i've have some questions.

first of all: if i program a new target i don't have interest in the

second question: when the checkentry function is used?

thank you again :)
