Thanks. That makes sense.
What doesn't is that Cannatello's book has a page and a half on doing
POST, with one example of how to change the ECB without using the POST
macro.
He even has the child checking the ECB to see if a WAIT had been issued.

Sometimes he tends to include "overkill". He's right, if the tasks
need to "talk" to each other; in many cases that's not necessary. Most
often, in my experience, that level of detailed control is inappropriate.
If asynchronous task mode programs need to "talk" to one another, they
should use a pair of ECBs unrelated to the one specified by the parent
task on the ATTACH macro -- though the parent task should include the
ATTACH ECB on its WAIT list.
