I am trying to use the Windows 3.0 function SwitchStackTo. It takes 3 args.
	wStackSegment  The segement of the stack - no problem here.
	wStackPointer  The offset of the "beginning" of the stack
	wStackTop      The offset of the top of the stack from the beginning.

I find this a bit confusing. Has Anyone used this function? As is usaully
the case with complex api, no example was given in the manual. What are
the real meanings of the second two argument?

I am trying to implement simplified multithreading in windows, and this 
looks like the ideal way to switch stack contexts.

Thanks in advance, Peter
