Could someone please give me some information on TaskMasterDA?  Better
yet, could someone please send me some example source code?  (Pascal or
C is much preferred).  I have the ToolBox Ref III from ADPA and for the
life of me I can't figure out if the TaskMasterDA call goes in a DA or
in an Application that supports DA's.  It seems like it should go in a DA
but I have no idea where!  Since the routine DAAction gets called with
input the Code parameter, it seems silly to make the call
    code:=TaskMasterDA(Mask,TaskRecPtr);

I must admit that I have the Beta Draft of ToolBox Ref III but here is what it
says for TaskMasterDA......

"This call is the TaskMaster entry point for Desk Accessories.  Your program
passes event information obtained from the Desk Manager"

Well, frankly, I don't have any idea what the heck they are talking about.

I really wish Apple would include some notes on usage of tools somewhere.  I
am using TML Pascal II and I have the example disk but their Example NDA
doesn't use TaskmasterDA.  Please help me!
