RE: creating a new procedure that call an existing procedure with oneadditional parm

Sure, but it won't be pretty.

SndMsgQ will have to perform tests to determine what parameters were passed to 
it and thus how it needs to call SndMsg.


If it's not too late, a better idea would be to reorder SndMsg()'s params so 
that MsgInQueue was number#2.

That would make it easy to send a message using just MsgInId and MsgInQueue.
