	You can use the port for recieving either.  ReplyMsg is essentially
{msg->mn_Node.ln_Type = NT_REPLYMSG; PutMsg(msg->mn_ReplyPort,msg);}.  Not
exactly that, but you get the idea.

	On another note: deven, you've shown up in the top 25 posters on
all of usenet by messages.  Try to include less "ok, I'll do that" and
included text in your messages, please.

	Thanks
