====== Plug-ins ======

Plug-ins are files ending in ''.P3X'' in the ''PEX'' folder. They are Windows DLLs loaded by ''ProBoard.exe''. Run one with menu function **60** (**Load a ProBoard SDK file**), with menu data that starts with ''/I'' and the plug-in's name, for example ''/I AVATAR''. Extra words are passed to the plug-in as arguments. The **Menu data** column below shows the name and arguments to put after ''/I''. Win32 and x64 plug-ins cannot be mixed in one ''PEX'' folder.
