[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] MORE help with tasks/ports etc please.

Okay, I'm trying to come to grips with tasks/ports and stuff.

Can a child task Remtask() itself rather than the parent doing it as
in the example on p266/7 of the RKM l&d? If so, who frees the memory used
in the struct Task? I imagine the kiddie can't do it once he's just removed
himself!

Is there an obvious way of recognising a message which is just a reply to
your own message, or do you just set a bit in your own structure to let
you know?

Why am I doing this? I just thought a multitasking graph plotting program
would be great... You could leave the requester for setting plot sybols,
colours etc open, and see the effects as you try them out.
