WHAT IS IT ?

     The idea for this program came to  me  while  talking  to  Walter
     Mildenberger, who said:  "Self-detaching  programs  are  stupid!"
     (Okay, those weren't his  original  words,  but  that's  what  he
     meant).

     We talked about the problem of waiting on such a program from the
     CLI. This is quite difficult because there is no possible way  of
     finding out when the program finishes.

     This problem is solved now! WaitForTask scans Exec's  task  lists
     regularly and looks for a program name, which is  specified  when
     you run the program. WaitForTask will not return until this  task
     exists!

     Using this command you can easily synchronise your  scripts  with
     self detaching programs.
