WndInfo
Gets information on the window system (such as the widths and heights of the various elements displayed by Windows). WndInfo() can also return flags that indicate whether the current version of the Windows operating system is a debugging version, whether a mouse is present, or whether the functions of the left and right mouse buttons have been exchanged.

16 - Width of the window client area for a fullscreen window.
17 - Height of the window client area for a fullscreen window (equivalent to the height of the screen minus the height of the window title).
18 - Height of a Kanji window.
19 - Non-zero if the mouse hardware is installed.
20 - Height of arrow bitmap on a vertical scroll bar.
21 - Width of arrow bitmap on a horizontal scroll bar.

Return Value
The system metric information.
Example
width = WndInfo(0); ! get width of screen
height = WndInfo(1); ! get height of screen
WinPos(width/2, height/2); ! move window to centre of screen
monitors = WndInfo(80); ! get number of monitors available
