I am not quite sure if I understand you correctly, but in my case you tell the compiler with the external declaration in the source code - and not vice versa. e.g.

function MemAllocateBlock(HeapHandle, Size, Attributes: Word;
  EventProc: Pointer; var Selector: Word): Integer; far;
  external 'RTM' index $0005;

function MemFreeBlock(Selector: Word): Integer; far;
  external 'RTM' index $0006;

I think you mean something different here.... anyway, I am still glad for your respose - many thanks!
