would tasks downloaded in another slot be assessable to some other

I'm not sure if the terminology from LEGO is "direct" or "immediate"
commands, but either way the idea is that some of the bytecodes can be
sent to the RCX and the RCX will execute them immediately.  There's a lot
of overlap between the direct bytecodes and those you can embed in a
program.  Specifically, the bytecodes to start and stop tasks can be both
direct and programmed.

You still can't force a program change without halting tasks, but its very
possible to download 5 programs of 10 tasks each, then send the
approrpaite direct commands to select any one of the 5 'programs', and
start any subset of the 10 tasks for that program.
