As I was saying in my original message, I had NO problem using tasks with
Lattice.  All the programs I tried, my own, the examples from the Amiga
Developer's newsletter and the ones posted on usenet, they all work fine with
Lattice. NONE of them works with ANY version of MANX, using ANY menory model.
Someone suggested to use +c and +D (large code and large data) but this did
not make any difference.  I left messages to Jim Goodnow at well!manx but got 
no reponse whatsoever.  If you have problems with MANX and multitasking
send him mail.  Maybe if he gets a bunch of complaints, he might fix
it.
