I see some sample code using 'extern Win32' and so on but no concrete "Yes, you can do it!" info concerning this.

Birdie did a lot of work typing all those function names and arguments into the TWin32 mod. But how do I use it to, say, open a native Windows window, for example?

Since I haven't seen or heard of anyone doing this, maybe it isn't possible yet?

p.s. Of course, this would render such a program non-cross platform...But I'm just curious.
