But the link fails with 

unrecognised symbol _GetStockObject 4

From my reading of the manual, the likely cause is a missing library. But I have
only just downloaded the package, and something as basic as GetStockObject being
missing sounds unlikely to me. 

Looking at the header files, I noticed this in wtypes.h

#include <win32\scdefs.h>
#include <win32\wtypes.h>

Which leads me to wonder whether I am missing a folder called win32 that ought
to be in my dm\lib\ folder.

Or perhaps it's something much simpler and this question is moronic. As I say, I
am new to command line stuff.

Any ideas out there?

The (import) library that defines this symbol is gde32.lib, which comes 
in the standard package (at least dm836c.zip). The include file which 
pertains to theis symbol is wingdi.h, but normally you should not care 
of including it, as windows.h does it for you.
