Thanks for your help Shinigami. Here's what I have found. If you start a task in an init function it is deleted when the init function ends. It appears the task thinks its a local object but when I try to put the definition as a global I get an error "error: expected `,' or `...' before string constant". Does anybody know how to make it global (I will experiment and post the answer if I figure it out.)
