NAME

	PRD_QUERY -- query printer port/line status

FUNCTION

	This command returns the status of the printer port's lines and
	registers.  Since the printer port uses either the serial or
	parallel port for i/o, the actual status returned is either the
	serial or parallel port's status.
   IO REQUEST
	io_Message	mn_ReplyPort set if quick I/O is not possible
	io_Device	preset by the call to OpenDevice
	io_Command	PRD_QUERY
	io_Data		ptr to 2 UBYTES where result will be stored.
