findfirst() and findnext() have nothing to do with the shell.  They
are DOS interrupts (21/4E & 21/4F, respectively).  Unless you are
willing to invoke shell to search for each file, which would be
pathetically slow, there is nothing JP Software can do for you. 
You may use FCBs if you wish, they're faster... not any better though.
