I think polyline is defined as follows:
(in brackets the size in bytes)
type   ( 4),
size   ( 4),
bounds (16), -> bounding rect
Count  ( 4), -> count of points
aptl   (  )  -> coordinate values

the polybezier has an equal structure but combines
three points (two directions and one end) in an unit.

Hope i didn't tell you something you already knew.

This comes from the Win16 online help (I couldn't locate the equivalent
for Win32).

Polyline Metafile Record 

struct {
    DWORD rdSize;
    WORD  rdFunction;
    WORD  rdParm[];
}

Member	Description

rdSize		Specifies the record size, in words. 
rdFunction	Specifies the GDI function number 0x0325. 
rdParm		Contains the following elements: 

	Element		Description

	count		Number of points 
	list of points	List of individual points

IOW, lpEMFR->dParm[0] gives you the number of points, and successive
pairs of elements of the array give you the  individual coordinates.

The entry for the polygon record type was essentially the same. I would
presume that EMR_POLYLINE16 is the same, except that individual elements
in the array rdParm are 16 bits in size rather than 32 bits.
