   I wondered about that, and then tested it.  You can RemTask() a task created
   with CreateTask().  You don't lose any memory (the stack and task structure
   goes away just like it should).

Of course you can.  DeleteTask() is *nothing* more than a call to
RemTask().  But, for consistency's sake (and perhaps future
compatibility?) you should use DeleteTask() if you used CreateTask().
