        Hi Rob,

        I think I have kind of run into another aspect of the same 
      problem.  If I understand you correctly, the problem is that
      there is no way to specify code to tidy up an active task about
      to go inactive (ie: switching from one window to another).

        My problem is not related to intuition, rather, I would like to
      disable an interrupt server when my task does not have the console.
      Perhaps I have missed the solution to this problem.  I have looked
      through the documentation some, and have concluded that this was
      left open by C=.

        If this is so, then what it seems to me is needed is a pointer,
      within the task's node structure, to a programmers routine which would
      do a bit of clean up.  Perhaps there is a better way, but I think
      this would work.  In your case, I would assume that on a task 
      switch you could do some pointer manips in "THUNDER" to fix your
      problem.

        Of course, this does require a pretty heavy mod to the OS so???


                                                Good Luck and Merry Christmas,


        [PS: would you please send me an E/mail response so I can send
                you private mail.  I tried to send this via E/mail but
                it was returned.]
                                                                    Wade.
