I start using Actor and I want to do an exercise with the Comm Port.
I tried to open the comm port using OpenComm() and works. But
when I try to get the DCB it fails.

Questions:

	1. How Actor works with WINDOWS.H structures and how I can
	   access an specific field inside the structure?

	2. How I can define my own structures?

	3. How Actor handles the C pointer declaration (How the
	   pointer declaration translate to Actor)?

Thank you in advance,
Miguel Rivera
