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.
