9.0b Character and the Windows Registry

Progress 9.0B Character client has a known bug (which Progress didn't see fit to document in their tech support site) where the GET-KEY-VALUE statement always returns unknown (?), regarldess of whether you're trying to read from an INI file or the Windows registry. Although we have written a routine which will read an INI file, getting access to the registry is more difficult, and we need to do it in our app. Writing a procedure call to the windows advapi32.dll calls (RegOpenKeyEx, etc.) hasn't worked for me so far. This bug has been fixed in 9.1A, however our clients may not be upgrading to that or 9.1B for some time.

Does any one have any experience with this, some sample code, workaround, etc.? Any help would be appreciated.
