Shane, I think tha JRCom will only go up to a task priority of 10. You never want to go much higher that that on any task anyway. If you do you can shut out things like writing to the hard disk, accepting input form the keyboard, and keep the cpu from doing vital things that it needs. For a little more understanding of tasks and thier priorities download Steve Tibbits TaskX (it's here in the libs somewhere). It will show you all the task running and what DOS has their priority set to, and allow you to play with it some. There are some things you absolutely want to leave alone though ie console.device, input.device, all the drive handlers ect. but it is kinda interesting to see what the computer is doing behind the scenes! …Steve ====>>> Motorola 68030 Inside <<<====
