Just thought I'd point out that the samples given for using
mciSendString were incorrect.
The samples should have used mciExecute(), since it only takes a
single string parameter.  mciSendString takes 4 parameters.

Also, note that mciExecute returns TRUE/FALSE (1/0) for
success/failure, whereas mciSendString returns an error code,
which is 0 for success.
