Tcp Accept
Accepts a connection from an Open Tcp Server file number.
clientfilenum = Tcp Accept( [#]serverfilenum )
Returns a new client file number on success, or zero (0) on failure.
Tcp Accept waits for the next incoming connection on a TCP server file number. It chooses a free file number for the accepted client and returns it to the program. The returned file number should be closed with Close when the connection is no longer needed.
The server file number remains open and may be passed to Tcp Accept again to accept another connection.
