Oops I made a mistake in my pseudo-code.  My task really looks like this:

func3 ()  /* It's a task! */
{
     endless_loop:  /* depends on the parent task to annihilate this task
     	       	       when the user hits a gadget */
     {
     blah;
     func1 (number);   /* Oooo... can I do this? Say func1() only has automagic
     	       	    variables.  */
     Forbid ();
     DrawImage (in_some_Window_declared_globally);
     blah;
     Permit ();
     }
}

Also, I RTFRKM's and know about the problems with calling DOS functions; I
shan't do that!

Thanks for all the replies so far; I'm beginning to understand these
blasted things....
