I had a similar problem with Lattice, until I figured out that the C
startup code from Lattice thought I had been 'launched' from the workbench
and was waiting for the Workbench startup message. A quick edit to customize
the .o file fixed it. 

As for the difference between a Process and a Task, the Process can access
dos functions whereas Tasks can't. Also their structures are different as
well. Check out the appropriate include files for differences.
