  12. Just thought I'd point out that the samples given for using
  13. mciSendString were incorrect.
  14. The samples should have used mciExecute(), since it only takes a
  15. single string parameter.  mciSendString takes 4 parameters.
  16.  
  17. Also, note that mciExecute returns TRUE/FALSE (1/0) for
  18. success/failure, whereas mciSendString returns an error code,
  19. which is 0 for success.
