WaitTOF -- wait for the top of the next video frame is documented on page
A-11 of the RKM Vol. 2 (original edition, Addison-Wesley is probably on
another page).  I also saw it in the autodocs.

Close!  Thats's page A-141 (One Hundred Fourty One).  It's part of the graphics
library.  (my RKM is rev 2 12.9.85)

WaitTOF() waits for vertical blank to occur, and all other vertical blank
servers to complete.

Also available is WaitBOVP(viewport), which will wait for the BOTTOM of a
viewport.

	Also, WaitTOF() actually sleeps the process while waiting, whereas
the documentation states that WaitBOVP() *busy* waits while waiting.
