 I think this would be declared like so...

        DECLARE SUB FindUser CDECL (UserName$, UserFile$)
                             ^^^^^
                               |
             (specifies a C-Declaration)

 and the call in your program would be...

        CALL FindUser(UserName$, UserFile$)

 or just plain...

        FindUser UserName$, UserFile$
