Hi Artur.
I was interested in the script you constructed below.
I've never before heard of these Smm* functions?
But I now observe there's like 31 of them in the jaws14 insert Functions
listing!
They don't seem to actually connote though, what SMM actually stands for? Do
you happen to know?
I note that in FSDN for SmmMarkupString, there's like 11 possible
parameters! 1 required and 10 optional?
amazing!
