(...) It does allow some very interesting abilities too. I used it for a line-follower, where three tasks could dynamicly alter their priority depending on what was going on.

It's not a true realtime interrupt. Some events may be recognized immediately (e.g. a new "mailbox" message, and some may be recognized on a 100 millisecond background scan (e.g. a "click" event).

I added this code to a program I've written #pragma reserve 14 #define MyVariable(@14) and it caused my program to crash. My program has many pragma reserves below 14 and they all work perfectly.
