	I've been having difficulty trying to use AmigaDOS's processes. I'm
using Benchmark Modula-2, and my difficulty resides in the calls to
'CreateProc' and 'LoadSeg'.

	The problem stems from the fact that I do NOT know really how
LoadSeg works. Does load seg work like:

	Segment := LoadSeg("df1:HelloWorld");
	ID := CreateProc(ADR("NewProcess"),0D,Segment,10000D);
		(Where HelloWorld is a compiled M-2 program on disk)

	Or like.....

	Segment := LoadSeg(ADR(HelloWorldProcedure));
	ID := CreateProc(ADR("NewProcess"),0D,Segment,10000D);
		(Where HelloWorldProcedure is a M-2 procedure in the same code)

	Or what DOES LoadSeg do? Or, rather, I'd like to find out how to
create a new process executing concurrently with my original process from 
either a procedure or a compiled (and linked :-) ) file.... the above two
do NOT work. The first one does NOT make an error, yet no second process
is started. The second one gurus the system with error 4 (address?)
