Is it true that file I/O cannot be done from within a spawned task?  I'm
trying to create a task to handle file loading and unloading, but it doesn't
seem to do anything but crash.  Do I need a process instead of a task?  If
so, does anyone have any examples of how I should go about spawning a new
process, cleaning up, etc.
                           Thanks
   				John
