Calling "application.processmessages" from unit - "application" is undeclared

I'm using Delphi 7. I'm trying to add a procedure with a call to "application.processmessages" in a non-VCL unit. I get the error "undeclared identifier: application".

How do I reference the TApplication class from a non-vcl unit? Where in the documentation is this described? It is hard to find due to the broad use of the term "application".

Add Forms to the uses clause of your unit. Eg:

uses Forms;

Well, if you do it then your unit becomes a VCL (-dependent) unit, are you sure that's the right way to go?

Application is a global variable in the Forms unit.
