Sorry for posting this to everyone unfortunately frank's address bounced
back faster than greased lightning. My advice to Eric and Frank and
anyone else doing exec level stuff on the Amiga :
	* Reply to your messages! *
When someone sends you a message, be it exec, intuition, or some user
task, you sould reply to it with ReplyMsg(), that way the person
calling you knows you got the message. If you don't then the sender
will get either very impatient or crash. Hope it solves your problems
with the gameport device.
