If you come across, as you do here, as if you have not so much as
glanced at the relevant documentation, let alone made an effort to seek
it out, it is no surprise that people are unwilling to help you.  csap
is a last resort.  Trivial API-related questions such as these can be
answered perfectly adequately by reading the OS StrongHelp manual.

See:

http://www.riscos.info/downloads/stronghelp/manuals/

The one you want is os334.zip.  You would also be well advised to pick
up several others while you are at it if you haven't already -
basic200.zip, assembly304.zip, filetypes.zip, starcmds5.zip, vdu203.zip
and wimp124.zip are some I have found particularly helpful.

StrongHelp itself may be downloaded from here:

http://www.stronged.iconbar.com/fjg/zips/strhlp.zip

ARMv7 (BeagleBoard/TouchBook/ARMini) compatible as of version 2.86, so
now there's no excuse!
