I created functs.c and placed this in it:
void scene()
{
draw_screen();
&update_status = 1;
draw_status();
}
Then in other script I did this line
external("functs","scene");
What happened? It didn't show status bar.Then I replaced external("functs","scene"); with
draw_screen();
&update_status = 1;
draw_status();
and deleted scene() proc from functs.c and then it all works... where is the problem...
isn't this supposed to be the same???

I haven't tried this myself, but I looked in emake.c (which is the script that is called for the rewards that appear when monsters are killed) and the only difference I saw is that there is a return line at the end. So, if I'm right, yours should read:
void scene()
{
draw_screen();
&update_status = 1;
draw_status();
return;
}
Good luck

Though this is probably wrong, try:
void scene(void)
