There's no question that API does NOT mean simply the win32 api. This is a
definition adopted by the VB community long after the term was created.
I'm hardly about to start writing to websites about it tho.

I agree there, API certainly does NOT refer only to the Win32 API. However,
your inclusion of intrinsic commands as part of the API is...unusual, shall
we say? The word "unique" actually comes to mind, but there's probably one
or two other people out there who would agree with you.
