Here u are:

main()

     void AnotherTask();

     .... some code ...

     CreateTask("This is the Name", 0L, AnotherTask, 4000L);
     /*           name            prior., code,       stacksize */

    .... other code
 
    while (FindTask("This is the Name"))
          Delay(50L);
}

void AnotherTask()
{
    int this, that;
     char foo;

     geta4();    /* THAT"S IMPORTANT IF YOU HAVE SMALL CODE ADDRESSING */

     ... taskstuff ...
}



It is also described somewhere in the Manx manuel chapter 
"tech.info".

Hope to have helped you!

Ahh: I nearly forgot: The last lines in main() are to make sure,
that the task has completet before your main program is finished.
If you would finish without doin  that, the task would run in 
unallocated memory, and that is a really sure way to meditation!
