     The main feature is the ProgramCallbackMESA function.  It allows the

     be called prior to executing each vertex or fragment program instruction.
-    The callback function can determine whether to return immediately (to

     From within the callback, the user may issue glGet* commands to

-    XXX Document ProgramCallbackMESA here
+    In section 5.4 "Display Lists", page 202, add the following command
+    to the list of those that are not compiled into display lists:
+    ProgramCallbackMESA.
+
+
+    Add a new section 5.7 "Callback Functions"
+
+    The function
+
+        void ProgramCallbackMESA(enum target, programcallbackMESA callback,
+                                 void *data)
+
+    registers a user-defined callback function with the GL.  <target> may
+    be FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_ARB or VERTEX_PROGRAM_ARB.  Callbacks registered
+    with these targets will be called prior to executing each instruction
+    in the current fragment or vertex program, respectively.  The callbacks
+    are enabled and disabled by calling Enable or Disable with <cap>
+    FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_ARB or VERTEX_PROGRAM_ARB.
 
-    Add to the list of functions which cannot be included in display
-    lists:  ProgramCallbackMESA.
+    The callback function's signature must match the typedef
+
+        typedef void (*programcallbackMESA)(enum target, void *data)
+
+    When the callback function is called, <target> will either be
+    FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_ARB or VERTEX_PROGRAM_ARB to indicate which
+    program is currently executing and <data> will be the value
+    specified when ProgramCallbackMESA was called.
+
+    From within the callback function, only the following GL commands
+    may be called:
+
+        GetBooleanv
+        GetDoublev
+        GetFloatv
+        GetIntegerv
+        GetProgramLocalParameter

+        GetProgramRegisterfvMESA
+        GetProgramivARB
+        GetProgramStringARB
+        GetError
+
+    Calling any other command from within the callback results in
+    undefined behaviour.
