Ok Peter, that is the second time you have said this.

I did exactly this and found it to be quite easy, and I never
had any gurus directly related to sharing SIGBITS.

You just have to be careful to not depend on 1-signal per event.

Of course you must use CloseWindowSafely() if you share a MsgPort
between windows or other things.

Please explain what you do to make it GURU.
