Well, I finally got my manual's from commodore.... whew, Nearly 7 Weeks
(or more). The documentation is excellent, congratulations Amiga and
Commodore.
Questions:
I went through the device driver's to get access to the serial port.
Eventually, I came up with a signal number that I could use (1 << n)
in a Wait() routine.
However, I also have a file-handle from an Open("Raw:... ), from which
I'm getting keyboard info.
I can use Wait() for the serial port, WaitForChar() for the file
handle.
* My question is, how can I wait for both at the same time? e.g. there
is no signal number for the file-handle.
* The returned file-handle from an Open() is an odd address. Was this
done on purpose to prevent people from indirecting through it? Or do
I have to do a transformation on it?
* What does the Memory-Overlay bit do?? it isn't documented (or I can't find
any documentation on it)

The dos RAW: device is excellently done. The dos SER: device is lousy..
completely useless.
