	YUCC!  Do not use CHKIN for disk I/O, It's slow enough already.  Also,
you loose your keyboard input channel during I/O (You loose your screen output
channel when outputing to disk).  For serial I/O, use the base TALK, LISTEN,
TKSA, SECOND, etc... (This is not for the weak heart).

	Which probably means that you did something wrong before you called
the routine.  Letsee... You set-up the parameters, call OPEN (or something like
that), then call a routine which sets the input device before you use CHKIN,
did you do all that?

	Once you get this working, don't forget to close the channel or you
will be roally scr*wed.
