How do you Wait() on several ports simultaneously?  I know how to wait on,
say, the serial device, console device and an IDCMP individually, but what
I really need to do is wait on a message from any one of them.

I tried:  waitflags = <port 1's bit> | <port 2's bit> |.... ;
	  Wait(waitflags);
but this didn't seem to work.
