   Check your wimp version number in your Wimp_Initialise call. Also check
your message filter list as given in R3 to the same call. If you tell the
Wimp that you are a RO2 task, by giving the wimp version number as being
200, then the new messages *won't get passed to that task*! Acorn have gone
to some trouble to ensure old tasks don't get confused by receiving the new
wimp messages that RO3 defines for compatability reasons.

   Accordingly if you want the new messages ensure (a) that you identify
yourself as a 'new' RO3 task by passing 300 as the Wimp version number. (b)
that you don't filter out messages you want... 

   Remember the *big* advance of RO3 in the Wimp is more tightly controlled
message passing. Tasks can identify those messages they want and will remain
blissfully unaware of those messages they aren't interested in, indeed they
won't even be paged in...
