A related question: In general (any specifics please) is the following
sequence of calls valid:
	
		p = CreateExtIO(myport, sizeof(*p));

		OpenDevice(device.name , 0, p, flags);

	/* Note that there are *no* SendIO(p) or DoIO(p) calls here */
		AbortIO(p)
		WaitIO(p);

		/* Finish clean up here */

The only thing that I think may have problems is the WaitIO(p) call.
Would it?
