     NAME
	  SendPacket - Send a packet to	DOS.

     SYNOPSIS
	  Result1 = SendPacket(	Action,	Args, Handler)
	    d0			  d0	a0	a1

     FUNCTION
	  Sends	an AmigaDOS packet to a	handler.  This function	will
	  Wait(), if necessary,	until the Handler returns the packet.
	  It cannot therefore be used for asynchronous I/O.  This
	  function uses	the processes message port, and	it will	call
	  the pr_PktWait function if this is installed.

     INPUTS
	  Action - the action you wish this packet to cause.

	  Args - Pointer to an array of	seven long words which specify
		  the arguments	to send	with the packet.  This may be
		  NULL,	in which case the arguments will be set	to
		  zero.

	  Handler - The	address	of the msgport of the handler you wish
		  to receive this packet.

     RESULT
	  Result1 - This function returns the result1 field of the
		  returned packet.  Res2 is available in register D1
		  for assembly language	programmers, or	by calling
		  IoErr().

     BUGS
	  None known.
