I am wondering how to find the name of a task. Or more apropaitely, why when I use a progam like AmiMon to look at active tasks, mine always shows up as a backround cli, while Amimon, which was also run from cli shows up with its name. The reason I want this is that I have two program's , one that is sleeping, and the other that I want to wake up the sleeping task, and modify some of the data in one of the variables in the sleeping task. I can wake it up by making the tasks timerport public, and then doing a find port. But how do I modify a var in another taks. I thought of using a record, with a known constant as its first member, and then searching memory for that constant. but not only could that take time, but what if there was another place that randomly had that same constant. If I offset from the wrong one, and modified that location, it would probably Guru. Any suggestion's? Or am I again missing somthing easy? Thanks, Jim Vogel
