[fpc-pascal]Win32 API function not working

Unfortunately, this function produces the same error, so I'm still stuck.

I never develop in a "try & compile" manner. As you can tell from my 
original post I research what I want to do beforehand and then code. 
That's why I knew what was included in FPC's rtl and the Win32 API 
reference -- because I did do my homework. Perhaps it's something about 
this function I don't quite understand, or perhaps there's a bug in FPC, 
but whatever the ultimate answer is I can assure you that it won't be 
related to how much effort I put into determining what it was before I 
posted my question.
