| For example, specifying the **MessageBox** function in the User32.dll identifies the function (**MessageBox**) and its location (User32.dll, User32, or user32). The Microsoft Windows application programming interface (Win32 API) can contain two versions of each function that handles characters and strings: a 1-byte character ANSI version and a 2-byte character Unicode version. When unspecified, the character set, represented by the <xref:System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImportAttribute.CharSet> field, defaults to ANSI. Some functions can have more than two versions. | ||

Yesterday, you'd asked whether this was discussed in the docs, and I didn't think that it was. Here at least is a rudimentary discussion.

Thank you, @NextTurn, not only for submitting this PR, but for taking the initiative to create it in the first place. When I commented in yesterday's PR that you should change Win32 to Windows, it didn't occur to me that Win32 was used extensively in our doc set. I've left a couple of suggestions and comments, largely for additional instances in which Win32 can be changed to Windows.
