You can RemTask() a task created with CreateTask(). You don't lose any memory (the stack and task structure goes away just like it should). Don

You can RemTask() a task created with CreateTask(). You don't lose any memory (the stack and task structure goes away just like it should). Of course you can. DeleteTask() is *nothing* more than a call to RemTask(). But, for consistency's sake (and perhaps future compatibility?) you should use DeleteTask() if you used CreateTask().
