Continuations do not really support multitasking: they merely (:^)
represent the flow of control within a single task. However, 
there are several Lisp's which do support multi-tasking: Bertram Hallam's
multi-lisp, QLisp by Gabriel and ?, and others I'm sure. (please forgive
inaccuracies in the refs, I am not up to date on the topic). On a more
practical level, there are the stack group's of the explorer (probably
first done by symbolics).
