capi:draw-character and LWW

Hi all,
  I've noticed in the Lispworks documentation that capi:draw-character and
  capi:draw-string is not supported on Windows. I've tried this out and it does
  seem to work, at least on Windows XP with LW Personal 4.4.6.
  Is this a documentation error or shouldn't these functions be used on Windows?

Thanks,
  Sean.

Don't worry I just noticed that it referred to the operation keyword.

That is because they do not exist.  You are looking for

gp:draw-character and
gp:draw-string
