why not use the tasking features built into Ada to achieve this ? i 
assume you have good reasons to use WinNT tasking features, but we 
don't know them.

the first thing is: what do you mean by task ? is it a thread or a 
process ? (typically, Ada tasks maps to threads).

if you are talking about threads, you can have a look at the following 
functions:
CreateThread
WaitForSingleObject/WaitForMultipleObjects
TerminateThread
SuspendThread
ResumeThread
CloseHandle

the documentation for all those functions are located in the MSDN 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/). although it is written for C application 
developpers, you will have a better understanding of the purpose of 
each function, applicable to your Ada program.
