Computer-executable process steps stored on a computer-readable medium to provide an application programming interface (API) to a client application for communicating between the client application and a plug-in module. The API includes a menu-create routine which searches for plug-in modules, which enters information regarding a found plug-in module into a structure, the structure being used to create and to display a plug-in menu of found plug-in modules, an "about" menu-create routine which enters "about" plug-in information into an "about" structure, the "about" structure being used to create and to display a plug-in "about" menu, a menu-enable routine, a menu-disable routine and an invoking routine which permits the client application to utilize a selected plug-in module.
