If he was relying on priorities staying fixed, you'd see a crash, not
lack of response. Try to configure Executive to keep "AWeb" (the main
task) priority higher than the child tasks ("AWeb retrieve" and
"AWebIP").

Once again, none of the gadgets in AWeb forms have anything to do with
ClassAct. AWeb supported forms before Yvon started using ClassAct, and
a lot of the gadgets are custom and belong to AWeb only.

No, it doesn't. I've seen an old version of http.library for AS225,
which doesn't work with the latest IBrowse, and I've heard that the
IBrowse team have forbid the release of AS225 compatible http.library
V2 because of some childish grudge against I-Net 225 and Surfer.
