Dear Relay,

I am desperately trying to write a simple program that will create two
simultaniously running tasks that share a few variables.  I have read
through the ROM Kernal Manual and also the manuals by Mortimere and Peck
but still cannot seen to get it working correctly.  I haven't found any
example code in these manuals to assist me.  If there is anyone out there
that knows how to do this or has a written piece of code that they can
send to me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Program Explination:  The program is a simulation of a Bounded Buffer.
                      The main program creates a structure with a lower
                      bound of 0 and an upper bound of 10.  Its initial
                      value is set to 5.  Then, two tasks are created.
                      One task adds to the buffer while the other task
                      takes from it.

I tried to get this working for a few weeks but could not get the tasks
to run at the same time.  Again, if you know how to spawn concurrently
running tasks, please send me the explination or example code.

thanks,  Tony
