I am working on a version of MicroEmacs that would support either opening
a new window or useing the current window and setting its mode to RAW.
My problem is that I don't know how to get a processes message port.
I have the original RKM's (1985 edition) and they offer no help to this
particular subject.  I did locate in the dos tech ref manual the structures
on file handles (which i find out from Input() & Output()) and can find
the processID but I can't find ANY info on how to find a msgport when you
know the file handle.
Can anyone offer any help on the subject?
     Thanks,
            Walter Reed
