COMPARE_ARS is for comparing the current user against a list of access
requirements (not a file), so not the right function to call.

COMPARE is probably what you want. So, FOPEN, FREAD, COMPARE the result against
_USERON.ALIAS (a global variable), FWRITE to add it to the file. That's the
basics anyway. I think echicken already gave you a working example in the other
sub.
