Let's say that I'm writing ProSuperDeluxeFooBar! and I want for it
to take over the entire Amiga (for justifiable purposes, of course :-).
Now, I haven't any problem with dealing with the LoadView() level
graphics routines, or with getting input from keyboard.device and
gameport.device, but let's say I want the user to be able to start
PSDFB! from the WorkBench.  How do I get rid of Intuition and free
up its resources (or at least kill the input.device task - somehow I 
think RemTask is not the answer)

If this is an RTFM question, accept my humblest apologies, as ILMFMAW
(I left my exec manual at work).  

Email is best, as always.
