Subject: DosMuxSemWait() for system semaphores only??

One of the arguments to DosMuxSemWait() is a pointer to a MUXSEMLIST
structure. According to the definition of this structure (pp 354-355
of the Microsoft OS/2 Programmer's Reference, Vol. 3), the semaphore
handles must have been created using the DosCreateSem or DosOpenSem
functions.

This seems to indicate that DosMuxSemWait() deals only with system
semaphores and not with RAM semaphores.

Is this true?
