Since PureBasic seems to lack a lot of basic commands, one must turn to the Windows API. Does anyone know where I can find a list of Constants that are used in the API?

For example.. where can I find the values of:
CSIDL_STARTMENU or CSIDL_FONTS

Anyone else interested, I was able to find the entire 'include' library of constants in a freeware C++ compiler (lcc-win32)

The constants I was looking for are used when looking for the Windows Special Folders (Font Folder, Recycle Bin, Start Menu, etc.)
Now that I have these constants, everything works like a charm!
