I am not so sure for function ReadRegistryString. But generally, you can try:

* try this
#DEFINE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 2147483650   && HKEY=0x80000002
* or this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE                = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"

SET PROCEDURE to "programs\registry.prg"

clear
oRegistry=CREATE("Registry")

*** Now Read the value for key sessionfinished

? oRegistry.ReadRegistryString(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,;
                               "SOFTWARE\JUNGCLAUS SOFTWARE ENGINEERING\TWAINCommander",;
                               "SessionFinished")
