How to create a userlib.
I personaly use PureBasic to create windows dll's.

a sample PB dll function

Global Return.l

ProcedureDll.l Test(Title.s,Message.s)
	Return.l = MessageRequester(Title.s,Message.s)
	ProcedureRetrun(Return.l)
EndProcedure

Then I compile the Dll and put it into the Blitz Userlibs Dir. I create a <anyfilename>.decls file. Edit it with notepad and put the following innit.

.lib "dllname.dll"

Test%(Title$,Message$)

I Save the decls file and restart Blitz. Not create a new bb file in blitz and type

X = Test("Hello","World")
Print X
WaitKey
End
