  <trn key="website.moreinfo.windows" locale="en_US">The <b>windows</b> unit is not documented in Free Pascal. The reason for

  The complete and up-to-date documentation of the Windows API is also on-line
  available on <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx">Microsofts website</a>.</trn>
