I type a name in my source text and hit F1. I see that the layout of
the help text varies, but to me they are just information. Names like
"C runtime" and "Win32 API" are Greek to me, although it is obvious
that the former is an extra layer.

Well yes, you are right again. But I am pretty stupid, I do not
consider reading the documentation of CreateFile() when I do not want
to create a file. Besides, I always use fopen() to open or create a
file.

Actually, I find it even more stupid to name a function CreateFile()
if it can be used to open an existing file. But I dislike to blame
others for my misunderstanding

While usually it's a return value you aren't interested in.
