The windows unit is not documented in Free Pascal. The reason for this is that this is a HUGE unit, which would describe the complete win32 API, and that is not the purpose of this documentation.
The complete and up-to-date documentation of the Windows API is also on-line available on Microsofts website.
The Free pascal 2.2 manuals have been translated to German by C&L, and can be purchased from the C&L website. Updated!
