Basil's request is OK. You may want to extend the Root functionality
in several ways:
a, write simple interpreted macros
b, write your own main program and add your own classes.
we give an example in root/test/hworld
c, use the standard root and use dynamic linking.
this is illustrated again with root/test/Event and
the macros eventa.cxx and eventb.cxx in the same directory.
