Walk, no RUN down to your local bookstore - look for "Visual Basic How-To"
a book by the Waite Group Press.  A number of good examples on using the
Windows API (only Windows 3.0 though) discussed in the book and on the
examples disk.  The disk also has a file called "WINAPI.TXT" which contains
a good VB reference to the Windows 3.0 API...

Another alternative is to get the WINAPI file from the Microsoft BBS (don't
have their number though) or from their Basic support forum library on
CompuServe (GO MSBASIC, look in the VB library...), They also will have
the updated file for Win 3.1...
