// Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Load our previously obtained access token. (see PayPal OAuth2 Access Token)

// The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application
