Umm, open up ExtIO? I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but it doesn't
sound right. The task whose variables you want to change has to create a
public message port that your other task can search for (with FindPort()),
and then wait at that port (as well as the one(s) you're already waiting at)
for a message that would tell it – according to a convention you devise –
what has to be done. If you want some sample C code for inter-task
communication, you might take a look at Transactor's "Talking Tasks" demo,
which I believe is in DL10 (probably as TTASKS.ARC).
