[go ahead, eat my breakfast]

In tryig to write some code which does not busy-loop but does need to check
on several events, I am trying to use Wait().  As the simplest first step,
I
	Wait(timerport->mp_SigBit);

This does not work (hangs), but 
	
	WaitPort(timerport);

does work properly.  Could someone please give me a clue (the RKM's and
AutoDocs just say "if you need to wait for more than one message, use
Wait() rather than WaitIO()" but do not explain how to use it for this
purpose).  

If it matters, I am using Manx 3.6a (until my beta 5.0 arrives :-)
