Hello,
   I am trying to design a neat way to kill tasks spawned by my programs.
I want to use exception processing via SetExcept and the tc_ExceptCode field.
What I mean to do is point tc_ExceptCode at my cleanup routine and use
SetExcept to point a signal that will start thisup from within my task.
My question is how will the system react to a RemTask() call from within the
exception?  The more I think about this the more it seems to me that I am
going to crash the system- what is the true wisdom on this?

Thanks!
