Hmm, the afore-mentioned header says the functions are available under 9 
with CarbonLib.

Perhaps you need to have a separately downloaded Carbon SDK installed?  
Please forgive my ignorance, I haven't done any development on 9 or with 
CoreWarrior in about 18 months now.


I thought of another possible approach, which would be to run a separate 
cooperative (not preemptive) thread to do window refreshes and whatever 
other limited set of tasks can be safely serviced while blocked on I/O 
(watching for cancellation clicks/keys?), and then just use synchronous 
I/O in the main thread.
