- Well, you wouldn't think there was any harm is using your process message port
- either, but if you do an ASYNC_PACKET guru will result. Like your process port
- you really don't own the window message port - Intuition does...and I'd imagine
- that trying to use it out of context would cause a similiar outcome. Sending
- messages to your UserPort should be ok though.
