The format of the appl_find function is as follows:

int appl_find( name )
char name[9];

name is the name of the application you are trying to find, without the
extension and all in upper-case letters.  It is always 8 characters
plus the final null character.  (eg. if you are looking for 'example.prg'
then name should point to the string "EXAMPLE ".  (don't forget the 
blank character to pad it to 8 chars.)

This info is a paraphrased version of the description given in the 
Mark Williams C Manual.
