- Ooops! The code is fine. I'm totally wedged on this one. My apologies
- to Mr. Taillefer. I don't have the code here in front of me, but I'm
- told he is using WaitPort() not Wait(). WaitPort() doesn't block until
- the port is completely empty, so his code will correctly drain the
- message port.... (Thanks to John Orr, Editor of Amiga Mail for
- correcting me.)
