Hey Ed,

You don't need any structures with these. The declarations are pretty straight forward. As you said INTEGER = WORD.

DECLARE INTEGER ExtractIcon IN Shell32;
  INTEGER hInst, STRING @lpszExeFileName, INTEGER nIconIndex
DECLARE INTEGER ExtractAssociatedIcon IN Shell32;
 INTEGER hInst, STRING @lpIconPath, INTEGER @lpiIcon
DECLARE INTEGER GetClassLong IN Win32API;
  INTEGER hWnd, INTEGER nIndex
