Just a thought: are the "missing" arguments declared "out" in the interface?
If so, it's right that they're not passed in -- the win32 UI package will
return a sequence from a call to that function, which includes the values of
all "in/out" and "out" arguments.

If that's not the case, just ignore my ramblings...
