R help - Jan 2012 - R for Windows: Is there a function/package that enables Win32 API Calls?

I am looking for a means to call Win32 API calls from R for Windows. Is that
possible?

Thanks.

Just write the call in C, and call your C code from R, using .C() or 
.Call() (depending on what you need to pass to it).  Generally .C() is 
easier, but .Call() is faster and more flexible.
