In R4.5 you can create script libraries that are available to all scripts in a database.
To use a library, just include a statement like this one in the Declarations section of
the script:

Use "Generic"

The following are a few handy functions you might want to keep in a generic script library.

   Function ReplaceWhitespaceWithPlusSigns( s As String ) As String
  Function ReplacePlusSignsWithSpaces( s As String ) As String
  Function IsWhiteSpace( s As String ) As Variant
  Function NewlineChar() As String
  Function TabChar() As String
  Function GetDbName( dominoUrl As String ) As String
  Function GetServerName( dominoUrl As String ) As String
  Sub PrintItemValues( doc As NotesDocument, web As Variant )
  Function ExtractParameter( paramName As String, queryString As String )

' when you are generating a URL.
