According to the AmigaDOS Technical Reference Manual, (yes, it exists,
but is very hard to read and understand) dp_Arg1 should be the BPTR to
the file handle.  That is, that field should contain your return value
from Open().  Apart from that, I don't know what may be wrong with
your code without trying it...  But the documentation says the file
handle.  (and remember, MSH is a handler; it's on the other end of the
transaction.)
