Question About Types

Hello,

I'm very interested in discovering why some codes use diferents methods
of types but looking these types, are always pointing for the same
way...

Example:

UINT = LongWord;

DWORD = LongWord;

WPARAM = Longint;

LPARAM = Longint;

LRESULT = Longint;


THandle = System.THandle;

System.THandle -> THandle = LongWord;

Ok, then

Function Foo: UINT; and Function Foo: DWORD;

or

Function Foo: THandle; and Function Foo: LongWord;

are basically the same thing?

Why these name?

Yeah, stupid question, but im wondering if someone knows why all these
names because im always trying to learn more things and about it im
very confused... seems to be the same thing but with different names

Thanks in advance =D

Carlos
