Calling Forms4 User Exits from a Library?

Greetings Forms Experts,
Have you ever called a user exit from a library? The reason I ask is
that is seems that user exits can only be passed the following
variables:
[pg. G-6 "Oracle Forms Ref Manual, Volume 2"]
block.item, parameter, system vars, global vars, host language vars
Whilst libraries CANNOT refer to any of the following:
[pg. 17-5 "Oracle Forms User Guide"]
block.item, global, system vars, parameters
I gotta believe that someone has a library procedure that gets data
passed to it from a form and in turn calls a user exit which processes
this data. I can't seem to understand how to do this given the
situation described. I'll bet the answer has to do with Name_In
functions or some other obscure thing.
I'll be eternally grateful if you post an example, please!
I'm using Forms V4.0.11 and Oracle 7.0.15 all under HP-UX.
