	Well, it isn't enough of a fragment to tell you what is wrong.

	loaderport must be a pointer to a port, obviously.   Same goes for
	myport.  hellomessage must be a pointer to a message.  hellomessage
	must have mn_ReplyPort set to myport if you intend for it to come
	back to myport.

	myport must be properly initialized.... ln_Type = NT_PORT, mp_SigBit =
	signal number, mp_Flags = PA_SIGNAL, mp_SigTask = FindTask(NULL), and
	the port's list properly initialized:  NewList(&myport->MsgList).

	Did I miss anything?
