But if I change Global_Worker from an access-to-task to a controlled
object, its master will still be the environment task, so Finalize
wouldn't be called before termination of the worker task.

Or am I missing something? Is there a special construct that yield an
earlier call to Finalize than Cron_Entry? Would you happen to have a
working example?


Thanks for your help,
