You shouldn't have to specify which DLL to take them from, they're automatically available (I think). You should just be able to define the functions in an Extern block, a lot like you would in a decls file in BlitzPlus.

Extern "win32"
	Function SendMessage:Int(hWnd:Int,MSG:Int,wParam:Int,lParam:Int) = "SendMessageA@16"
End Extern

...at the top of your code is the equivalent of (from memory here :P)

.lib "user32.dll"

SendMessage%(hWnd%,MSG%,wParam%,lParam%):"SendMessageA@16"
