By chance I managed to use "OpenIntuition()" as a function name in one of
my programs, not realizing that it was indeed an intuition.library function.

Compiling with Lattice 5.02 and including the "proto/intuition.h" header
file gave me, naturally, the #pragma expansion of OpenIntuition(). (The
actual definition of MY OpenIntuition() was in another file which I did
not compile with the above include file, so the compiler didn't complain.)
((Lesson: always compile auxiliary files with the same headers to assure
the same symbolic environment!))

This led to instant GURUs, as can be expected, since "_IntuitionBase" was
undefined in my main program.

My question is:  What does the intuition.library function "OpenIntuition()"
do?  I can find reference to it in the RKM only in the offsets tables for the
library.  It does not appear in any of the function description sections
or in the function index of the "Includes and Autodocs" RKM.
