)My question is:  What does the intuition.library function "OpenIntuition()" do?

It appears to be a direct entry point to Intuition's Open function (the one
that gets called when you call OpenLibrary().  Undoubtedly a relic.  Perhaps
in the early days this entry point, together with a practice of stashing
the pointer to IntuitionBase at some secret low-memory location, allowed
Intuition to be init'd and tested in times that the OpenLibrary() code
was in a state of flux.

Archeology.
