Hmm..., notice that the start monitoring icon allows to watch for multiple
events within the same task. If each task can only monitor a single event,
that feature being there does not quite make sense.

This is why I suspect the "event" in Robolab works like system call signal()
in C. Signal() system interrupt is not stackable. However, this question
becomes mood point if only one event monitor can take place in a single task

Yea... The doc for robolab is very lacking in significant details. But
again, this may be because the initiative of Robolab is for education only,
but not industrial usage. Perhaps you can obtain more info from Labview
documentation since Robolab's back bone is Labview. And some of the low
level usage of Robolab needs knowledge of G code.

I guess this is more like killing a thread in a true multitasking
environment.

I don't know if there is any. I always create comment as synopsis at the
top of my robolab vi file.
