Can someone give me a WORKING example of how to start a task and pass it a
message?  I haven't been able to get my hands on any 1.1 manuals, and the
example in the 1.0 manual (which I borrowed from a friend) doesn't seem to
work.  I made the obvious changes (initializing list headers, using &port
instead of port, etc.) but it still doesn't work.  Any help would be
appreciated.

P.S. - I am using Aztec C and have seen to it that the childtask initializes
a4.  But even if Aztec C is part of the problem, I haven't been able to get
it to work with my friend's Lattice C compiler either.

P.P.S. - Where are the manuals!!???
