>I am really kind of lost with tasks and message passing. Would anyone show me an example where 2 tasks would be created by environment task...each task has same body and one entry...so for example one task waits at entry while the other one completes the entry block and on the exit lets waiting task that's its done.

	If they are the "same body and one entry" there is NO WAY to do what
you want. Either both tasks will be waiting on their entry for another to
rendezvous, or both tasks will be blocked waiting to rendezvous on a called
entry.

First case (pseudo code):

accept theEntry()	-- both blocked waiting for some task to call it
					-- note that it can't restrict which task calls
	do stuff
end theEntry
other.theEntry()

Second case:
other.theEntry()	-- both blocked waiting for known other task to accept
					-- you'll have to initialize each task with the
					-- knowledge of the other
accept theEntry()
	do stuff
end theEntry
