[ale] more OT: c++ datatypes question

[J.M. Taylor]

Ben,

I would love to know how WORD is defined.  It's not actually defined 
anywhere in the code that I'm working with, but to do a palm conduit you 
have several .dll dependancies that load all manner of things that are 
core to Palm conduits.  Which I can't look at, of course.  Is 
there some way to see the definition in this case, that I just don't know 
about?  I know so little about visual studio, or dealing with MS based 
things in general. (ick)

Also, yes, int i; i=2; works just fine.  

Thanks
jenn
