)
)	/* Note that there are *no* SendIO(p) or DoIO(p) calls here */
)	AbortIO(p)
)	WaitIO(p);
)
)	/* Finish clean up here */

)The only thing that I think may have problems is the WaitIO(p) call.

This example is not valid.  CreateExtIO/OpenDevice does not guarantee
that the message type is ever set to NT_REPLYMSG, so WaitIO will
actually Wait -- you'll never get to your cleanup code.
