     Is there any way I could set a queue in my Amiga to which one would 
submit tasks to be run? The different tasks would then be run sequentially 
and at whatever priority the user had assigned to the queue. I would like 
to be able to submit several tasks to the queue at a time and have the system 
process them in the background at a reduced priority while I use the rest of 
the systems resources for other tasks (Thank god for multitasking!).

     My rationale is that it would be more desirable to have the system run 
these tasks sequentially rather that trying to have them all running 
simultaneously in the background. I realize I can specify tasks priorities 
individually for all the different processes, but it would be convenient if  
there were a way to queue the tasks...
