OpenPort        CreateNewPort  or NewGWorld
ClosePort       DisposePort    or DisposeGWorld
GetPort         GetPort        or GetGWorld
SetPort         SetPort        or SetGWorld
OpenDeskAcc      -


OpenPort/ClosePort were most commonly used for a respectably antique 1-bit black & white offscreen drawing environment, later referred to unofficially as a 'BWorld'.

CreateNewPort/DisposePort cannot be used for such a trick, and are unlikely to be what you want.  See  Modern BWorld demo, where a 1-bit-deep GWorld is used instead.
