FindfirstA returns an handle and return -1 (invalid handle) if something is
wrong. The handle must be used as input in findnextfileA.

Example:
 filesearch='c:\*.*'  !or Filename
        filehandle=findfirstfile(filesearch,WIN32_FIND_DATA)
        !
 ! Do something with information in win32_find_data
 !
        if filehandle <> -1
           loop
              fileerror=findnextfile(filehandling,win32_find_data)
              if fileerror<>0
         !
  ! Do something with information in win32_find_data
  !
       else
  break
       end
    end
 end
