in some message Jim.Locker@afitamy.fidonet.org (Jim Locker) says
- (4) Enter your Forever loop, and Wait on a signal from either Intuition or
- your Console device.
- (5) Test to see who signaled, and process accordingly.

One warning with doing this, the one program that I have that does this
is a terminal emulator which shares messages from Intuition (menus & keys),
and the Serial Port.  Unfortunately, the method I use tends to favor 
the serial port right now, so things don't happen quite as quickly
as I would like (like hitting DEL or ^C).

Keep in mind the scheduling of your messages, and try not to favor
one type of message over another.
