Could someone please supply me with a demonstrably working example of
the use of poll words with Wimp_Poll(Idle) under RiscOS3, i.e. the new
extension allowing one to do a Wimp_Poll and have the wimp pass
control back to you when a given word of memory becomes non-zero?

I have tried using this facility - it didn't seem to work, either
under 3.0 or 3.1, although it was documented in the developer
pre-release notes. These notes also cited NetFiler as a module that
used the facility - I disemboweled that module and extracted the
appropriate code, which also failed to work...

--Clive.
