  11. I was playing around with the Taskwindow command
  12. I thought that some may find the following interesting.
  13.  
  14. First ^F12 to get a taskwindow 
  15.  
  16. then:
  17.  
  18. * set alias$jackhammer taskwindow jackhammer -quit
  19. * jackhammer
  20.  
  21. That's it, it appears to do nothing ... Now check your Task display
  22.  
  23. There are a few interesting things you can still do before rescuing your 
  24. machine.
  25.  
  26. try to drop the next slot to 0K, the taskwindows generated simply move to 
  27. Module space.
  28.  
  29. To kill the taskwindows:
  30.  
  31. * unset alias$jackhammer
  32.  
  33. Have Fun.
