Is there any difference between a Port and a MsgPort?  I can't even find
a definition of Port in the 1.3 autodocs, but the _RKM: Libraries and 
Devices_ sections on Console and Serial devices use pointers to Ports
while I've been using pointers to MsgPorts.

Please reply by email.  Since there is a small but finite probability that
someone else is interested in this question and is also too stupid to be able
to find an answer in the docs on his/her own, I will post a summary.
