     You need to use
     Wait(1<<timerport->mp_SigBit);

Wait() requires a signal mask, not just the bit number.  By shifting 1 left
as many times as the value in mp_SigBit you create the mask you need.  If
you need to Wait() for more than one signal you can OR the masks:

     Mask = (1<<timerport->mp_SigBit | 1<<otherport->mp_SigBit);
     Wait(Mask);

I hope this answers your question.
