Discussion Calling this routine alters the normal task rotation regimen by immediately attempting to run the specified task or, if no task stack is explicitly given, the Main() task. If the specified task cannot run (because it is sleeping, waiting for InputCapture, etc.) the list of tasks is examined in order beginning with the task immediately following the specified task and the first ready-to-run task that is found will be run. Because this routine interferes with the normal task rotation it must be used carefully to avoid starving out one or more tasks. If this routine is invoked using an array other than one that is or was being used for a task stack the result is undefined. See the section on Task Management in the ZBasic Reference Manual for additional information regarding task management. Compatibility This routine is not available in BasicX compatibility mode.
