I need some help with either CreateTask() or CreateProcess().

At present, I'm trying to use CreateTask() as documented in the ROM Kernal
Libraries & Devices Manual. However, my routine needs to communicate with
devices (serial and narrator). Does my routine then need to be a process
since it calls library or device functions even if I open the disk-based
libraries in the parent process? 

I have no documentation on the CreateProcess() function since it is not
in either "Libraries & Devices" or "Includes & Autodocs". Accoding to the
RKM CreateProc() is in the dos.library.

Could someone could provide me with at least the detailed parameter list for
CreateProc()? That should give me a place to start.

I may be going at this all wrong however. I want to have two tasks, for
simultaneous reading & writing to the serial port. Associated with each of
these tasks is their own window processing to handle gadgets for either the
receive or transmit functions in the task body.

I guess I'd like to know what advantage, if any, CreateProc() would provide.
