	I am examining some assembly code that makes does the following...

   204F           ' O'             MOVEA.L A7,A0
   42A8 000C      'B...'           CLR.L   ioCompletion(A0)
   317C FFFD 0018 '1|....'         MOVE    #-3,ioCRefNum(A0)
   317C 0006 001A '1|....'         MOVE    #6,CSCode(A0)
   217C 0002 FFFD '!|....'         MOVE.L  #$2FFFD,CSParam(A0)
   42A8 0020      'B.. '           CLR.L   CSParam+4(A0)
   42A8 0024      'B..$'           CLR.L   CSParam+8(A0)
   A004           '..'             _Control ; (A0|IOPB:ParmBlkPtr):D0\OSErr 

	I cannot find in any of my documantation a description of what a 
_control call with CScode set to 6 does. Can someone out there give me
some help and tell me what this call does?
		Thanks!
