So where is the waiting done, with Message_TaskCloseDown sitting there
with the task handle (+4) you've asked for?
Initially looks easy enough, the StrongHelp doesn't explain where
you would get the information for Message_TaskInitialise +20 +24 +28
Not saying it wouldn't be worth the effort, it does sound like
a job that a pre-existing library could do so you can just
run what you want without delving into wimp offsets.
The Zap complication hopefully will get fixed by Zap people.
