What you don't understand may be with the VAT.
With FindSymEntry, you get in a0 the adress of the VAT entry of the
file.
so you have:
from (a0).b to 7(a0).b  : 8 chars = name of the file
	8(a0).l		: long word = some flags
	12(a0).w	: handle of the file, this is the one you give as parameter to
userlib::exec.

Yes, you can substitute the code from userlib and paste it into your
prog.
However, you program will become a lot bigger..
