====== PROCEDURE ======
        [DECLARE] PROCEDURE proc( [TYPE var1 [VAR] ],...)

The keyword PROCEDURE is used in conjonction with the keyword DECLARE in the declaration of a user-defined procedure...  
The optionnal VAR keyword tells PPL to copy the contents of the local variable back into the original variable when the procedure is finished processing.  
The compiler directive ";$USEFUNCS" may be used in order to allow your main code (code between BEGIN & END) to be located anywhere within your file...  

**Example:** 

		;$USEFUNCS
		DECLARE PROCEDURE proc1(INTEGER i, STRING str, VAR INTEGER j)
		INTEGER int1,int2
		STRING s1
		BEGIN
		int1 = 1
		int2 = 2
		s1 = "HELLO"
		proc1(int1,s1,int2)
		PRINTLN "int1 =",int1
		PRINTLN "int2 =",int2
		PRINTLN "s1 =",s1
		END
		PROCEDURE proc1(INTEGER i,STRING str, VAR INTEGER j)
			PRINTLN "I'm in proc1"
			LET i = 30
			LET j = 15
		ENDPROC
