Ronn's book is great resource for learning to write a DLM. In
particular, for all the examples of passing different types of
parameters into C, i.e., arrays, scalars, strings, etc. as positional
parameters or keywords. Explanation is clear and concise. All the code
comes along with it on a CD. I keep this by my desk and refer to it
regularly.

Also, check out the External Development Guide (in the IDL distribution
at help/pdf/edg.pdf). It covers many different techniques, DLMs are
covered heavily since they are the most complicated.
