     called.

     is	 to  be	 started  to  receive the message immediately, or
     whether the message is to be queued until the receiving pro-
     cess is started at	a later	time or	discarded if the receiver
     is	not started.  The following values are defined:

		There is no receiver for this message.	The  mes-
		sage  will  be	returned  to  the sender with the
		Tt_status field	containing TT_FAILED.

	TT_QUEUE
		Queue the message until	a process of  the  proper
		ptype receives the message.

	TT_START
		Attempt	to start a process of the proper ptype if
		none is	running.

		Queue the message and attempt to start a  process
		of the proper ptype if none is running.
