If you'll look back, I said Ada tasking won't work WITH THE GRAHPHIC 
FRONT END.  We use something called Screen Machine to develop screens, 
and it uses a tasking system to handle things (although I've never seen 
why).  All attempts at implementing tasking in one of the Screen Machine 
screens fails.  No lying, and it has nothing to do with Solaris threads.  
Just Screen Machine.
