I want to call the ShellExecute Windows API function but
don't succeed because the compiler reports 'Unresolved
External' when linking the program.

I include the following definition inside the globals map;
before this, the data structures are included correctly.

MODULE('Windows.DLL')

ShellExecute(HWND,*LPCSTR,*LPCSTR,*LPCSTR,*LPCSTR,SIGNED),HINSTANCE,Pascal,RAW
END

The call of the function in the source code is listed below:

! the variables at the beginning of the line are def. as CSTRING
fcom        = CLIP(KTE:Command)
foperation  = 'open'
fpara       = ''
fdir        = Path()

hInst =
ShellExecute(QuickWindow{PROP:Handle},foperation,fcom,fpara,fdir,SW_SHOWDEFAULT)

I can't work out, where I can provide the fitting library
which contains the external function. Does someone else now this?

Thank you a priori,

Florian Sager
