PROC             Procedure definition                               Directive

  Turbo Assembler version 3.20 or later:

  PROC procname [[language modifier] language] [distance]       ; Ideal mode
       [ARG argument_list] [RETURNS item_list]
       [LOCAL argument_list]
       [USES item_list]
       ; statements
  ENDP [procname]


  Turbo Assembler version 3.10 or earlier:

  PROC [[language modifier] language] procname [distance]       ; Ideal mode
       [ARG argument_list] [RETURNS item_list]
       [LOCAL argument_list]
       [USES item_list]
       ; statements
  ENDP [procname]


    PROC defines the start of procedure proc_name.

    language modifier generates special procedure entry and exit code
    that interface with Windows or the VROOM overlay manager.

    language specifies which language you will be calling from to
    access this procedure. This determines symbol naming conventions, the
    order of any arguments on the stack, and whether the arguments will be
    left on the stack when the procedure returns (procedure prolog code).

    distance is NEAR or FAR and determines the type of RET instruction
    that will be assembled at the end of the procedure.

    argument_list describes any argument the procedure is called with.
    RETURNS introduces one or more arguments that won't be popped from the
    stack when the procedure returns (see ARG).

    LOCAL argument_list describes the stack frame variables local to the
    procedure.

    USES item_list is a list of registers and/or single-token data items
    to be pushed on entry and popped on exit from the procedure (see USES).


    A RET statement will generate procedure epilog code appropriate for the
    specified language.

    You can use the /la command-line switch to include procedure prolog and
    epilog code in your listing file.
