- I noticed that in our Multimedia Windows _3.0_, in the Control Panel
- under Sound, there is a box that is missing in Win 3.1 -- a box called
- Edit or Add, I think. The help wasn't helpful, and it appeared to
- add a name to the Events list, and then of course you could then add
- a matching .WAV sound to it. However, it didn't say anything about
- what kind of names you could use. Am I correct in assuming that
- there are other undocumented calls (i.e. MB_HELPABOUT), or is this
- in there for future development?
