Hmmm. This sounds suspiciously like a homework problem.
I know of 3 ways to pass task specific info to such a task.
o Make the object a discriminant in the task type declaration.
o Pass the object to the task via a rendezvous.
o Use a generic package w/ a task instead of a task type, and instantiate
w/ the object.
There are probably more.
T.E.D.
