I have obviously not yet attained the Zen of the Amiga, because
the construct under discussion, 

>:while (1) {
>:  while (!(imsg= GetMsg(win->UserPort)))
>:     Wait (1<<win->UserPort->mp_SigBit);
>:  select imsg->Class and break when ended
>:}

doesn't seem "*perfectly fine*" to me at all, notwithstanding Tomas R's
endorsement.

Presuming that the fragment was quoted from the original posting without
distortion, it sure looks to me that for the "select imsg->Class and break"
portion of the code, the "imsg" pointer is NULL!

Still unenlightened,
