	Okay, I've got a question for the West Chester bunch.  This morning,
I wanted to fiddle around with the 8520 Time-Of-Day clock.  Consulting the
RKM indicated that I should allocate the use of the 8520 using the
OpenResource() function in the Exec.

	When I got to the end of the program, I discovered that there is no
CloseResource() function anywhere.  I checked for variants like
FreeResource(), UnOpenResource(), YouCanHaveThisResourceBackNow(), etc.
Nothing.

	The example code in the RKM indicated that resources might be like
libraries, so I tried using CloseLibrary() instead.  That yielded a double
guru (the first Guru froze, took the machine down, and a second one came
up).

	I have the original Commodore-published ROM Kernel Manuals (not
Addison-Wesley), so there may be some information I don't have.  Any
suggestions?

	Adv-Thanks-ance.
