The document titled _How MathLink Is Used_ reads, "MathLink provides a mechanism through which programs can interact with Mathematica. =E2=80=A2 Calling functions in an external program from within Mathematic= a. =E2=80=A2 Calling Mathematica from within an external program. =E2=80=A2 Setting up alternative front ends to Mathematica. =E2=80=A2 Exchanging data between Mathematica and external programs. =E2=80=A2 Exchanging data between concurrent Mathematica processes." http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/HowMathLinkIsUsed.html A good place to start is _MathLink and External Program Communication_ http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/MathLinkAndExternalProg= ramCommunicationOverview.html From there you can find plenty of tutorials such as _Setting Up External Functions to Be Called from Mathematica_ or _Two-Way Communication with External Programs_.
