Well at the moment I have added &808C0 - &808C6 to Wimp messages

Looking at PRM3, page 263,TaskWindow_Ouput  - this message is sent to the 
Parent when one of it's children has produced output.

I would have thought because the task has generated output into the task 
window (although the window is not open), that would register as output 
and therefore generate &808C1 message.  Or am I completely 
misunderstanding this?  Which would not surprise me as I am not the best 
at understanding the PRMs :(
