You can use SetTaskPri() to do what you want to do ---

    oldpriority = SetTaskPri (task, newpriority);

    
Thus you simply do:

    struct Task *me;
    if (me = FindTask(NULL)) oldpri = SetTaskPri(me, newpri);
  
and later you can set the priority back to oldpri. The priority you
supply is an absolute value.
