=== Load <T>ask - Hotkey: t or T - To load and start a Task ===
This function is to load a Task of a maximum file size of 16 KB.
The Task will be started right away.
=== Save Tas<k> - Hotkey: k or K - To save a Task ===
This function provides a way to save a 16 KB sized memory dump of a Task to any
kind of media. Saving works in cooperation with the Task, so the Task can get
prepared to be saved.
A saved Task can be used to continue it later or on another computer (also it
can be used for debugging purposes).
=== Load '''a'''ll - Hotkey: a or A - Loads and starts all tagged files as Tasks ===
This function can load a bunch of files as Tasks. Usually you would first mark
all the Task-files in the FutureOS Turbo Destiop you would like to use.
Then use this function to load and start them all.
This way you can start up with a selection of your favorite Tasks at once.
=== '''S'''ave tabl - Hotkey: s or S - Saves 16 KB Task-Table (--> for debugging) ===
This function actually saves 16 KB of the main RAM from &4000 to &7FFF.
This area contains Task variables, the Task Table and the VRAM Table.
Yes, this is for debugging purposes :-)
=== '''R'''ead DIRs - Hotkey: r or R - Reads the DIRs of all tagged drives ===
Here you can select the drives / media / devices you want to use and load their
DIRectories. This will make the devices accessible for Load and Save operations
=== '''C'''lose - Hotkey: c or C - End all Tasks. Quit this application ===
This function will end and clear all Tasks, release the previously used E-RAM
of the Tasks and end the Application Caruh.

This one will display the name of the application Caruh, its current version
number and the date of the last major change of code.
