Windows procedure SetWRect not working correctly on Windows

Hi,

I think this has been for decades in HAL. Or may be I do not understand properly something.
So decided to ask here.
HAL primitive description on web says:

procedure SetWRect(integer x,integer y,integer w,integer h)

Description:
sets size and location for window

Parameters:
x    left upper corner - horisontal coordinate
y    left upper corner - vertical coordinate
w    width of window
h    height of window

When I try to change x, y coordinates, then left upper corner is not changing it's possition.
Instead the window size is changing in some strange way.
Even with AutoSizeWindow(false) the left upper corner position can not be changed.
