So it really was confusing after all. It forced me to deep and read hours long everything about multitasking I could. Down to the intriquacies of "requeue", which is a really nice feature by the way. I can't say I didn't like it... many times I thought of things before actually reading them, and it's actually quite rewarding intellectually, when you can do that.
I've come with some questions and requests for confirmation as well, that I'll post tomorrow. Thanks for this point in particular. Was the guy who wrote this confused himself or what ? He hasn't been lacking in teaching skills at all so far.

Before that, one thing I can't get, even after asking other people:
for protected objects, in a protected procedure, when it's blocked, because a reading (protected function) or an entry is being served, are the calls to the procedure put on a queue as with entries ?
Someone said me the advantage of protected procedures was that you don't have to wait, but I read also they were exclusive with each others... damn.
