Hi there.  I am having a problem wint Manx 3.6a that I hope someone can help
me with.  I am trying to process RAWKEY events through the console.device
routine RawKeyConvert().  To do this, the docs say that I need to declare

	struct Device *ConsoleDevice;

and initialize it from a field in the structure returned by OpenDevice().
That is fine; I have no problems doing that.  I am also including the file
functions.h so that I don't have to cast all of the OS routine return 
values.  My problem is that in functions.h there is the following declaration:

	long	ConsoleDevice();

Does anyone know what this is?  I cannot find any reference to this routine
in any documentation that I have (Amiga OS or Manx) or in any of the Manx
libraries.  For now, I have made my own copy of functions.h with the above
line commented out.  Is there a reason for this declaration?  Thanks.
