While I read you, I can't avoid thinking you must be true, as this is the  
only way to get variable number of parameters working for C. What is  
confusing also, is that assembly program sometime use the stack as an  
array : allocated room on the stack, and then do something looking like  
[ebp+0] := ... [ebp+4] := ... and so on. But I feel to remember parameter  
passing order for WinAPI is the reversed one than C. I will have a test  
tomorrow to check (I am not running Windows right now).
