Sorry Bob, but try using the Workbench 1.2 changetaskpri when you say
the one from CBM, OK?   The one that comes with 1.2 says, and I quote:

	Pri/a:
	Give new priority

The Beta 1.3 says 

	Pri/a,Process/k:
	Give new priority

The version that outputs

	"ChangeTaskPri <Priority> <Process>"

IS NOT FROM CBM but probably the ARP disk.  Sorry, I haven't installed
the ARP commands.... yet.  For completeness (as far as I know) there's
yet another Change Task Priority program (cpri) from a Dewi Williams
in Bell Labs.  in Colorado and his says:

	usage: cpri [+/-]priority CLI-process-number

The version from CBM only changes the priority of the CURRENT CLI.

As the Police say after giving you a ticket with the largest fine
that they can possibly dream up...... "Have A Nice Day!"
