-	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).
-					-Matt
loaderport and myport and hellomessage and mn_replyport are set correctly
I use muport = CreatePort("loader",0L); or something like that, so that should
do all of the proper initialization for myport, right?
