Scott,

You have hit the nail on the head, the binding with hemoglobin is
competitive between oxgyen and carbon monoxide, and thus as long
as the relationship between the partial pressure of monoxide and
oxide remains constant, the amount of hemoglobin bound with monoxide
will remain constant (at least, according to everything I know, and
Bill Hamilton has also been heard to make this same point about
monoxide).

John
