 COM_GETIO()
 Determines the base address of a port
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax
     COM_GETIO(<nComPort>) --> nIOPort
 Argument
     <nComPort>  Designates the port (1 to 4) to which the current I/O
     address is delivered.
 Returns
     COM_GETIO() returns the I/O address of the designated port.  With an
     invalid parameter or an unavailable port, the function returns a value
     of -1.
 Description
     COM_GETIO() determines with which port I/O address CA-Clipper Tools
     functions communicate.  This function only returns a value known to
     CA-Clipper Tools software.  It cannot determine the I/O address of an
     interface card!
 Examples
     .  Determine the COM1 I/O address:
        ? COM_GETIO(1)               // 1016
     .  Specify that you need the address in hexadecimal form:
        ? NTOC(COM_GETIO(1), 16)     // "3F8"
     .  Specify an invalid port number:
        ? COM_GETIO(5)               // -1
