These are instructions for adding the Windows API functions to the IDE's
color syntax highlighting.  The idea for adding all of the Windows API
came up during Kevin Kahl's presentation at BIC '94, when he was showing
how to customize the IDE, specificly, the syntax highlighting.  I'm not 
sure if I got all of them, but there are over 750 of them in the 
winapi.tok file.

These steps are overviewed in the IDE help file under "Syntax Highlighting",
"Setting Up Client Areas"


Steps for adding Syntax highlighting to Windows API functions...


 1) Copy bc4\bin\c.tok (or any other .tok file) to bc4\bin\userdef.tok (or anything .tok)

 2) Edit the new userdef.tok file. Go to the end of the file and on a new line
    add [Client #] (where # is any number from 1-8).

 3) Append any one of the following files to a bc4\bin\*.tok file under
    the section called [Client #] (where # is any from 1-8).

        win30api.tok     Windows 3.0 functions
        win31ext.tok     Windows 3.1 specific functions
        winmmsys.tok     mmsystem functions
        winapi.tok       all of the above functions

 4) Start up the IDE.

 5) Select the following menu options...
        Options
        Environment

 6) When the dialog box comes up select
        Editor (expand to see File)
        File

 7) You select the userdef.tok file listed in the reserved words list box.

 8) Expand Syntax Highlighting

 9) Select Customize

10) Scroll the Element list box and select Client # (where # is one you
    used in step 2)

11) Set the colors you wish to use to highlight Windows API functions
    (You have to choose colors other than the defaults or they won't
    be highlighted)

12) Click OK button

ALL DONE!
