I don't see any mention of using interrupts.  In my experience 
interrupts are used in this sort of context in small systems with simple 
or no OS.  Anton mentions an "asynchronous signal" I assume in the 
context of a complex OS like Windows or Linux.  The interrupt may be 
part of this, but it is completely invisible to the user as it comes 
from the keyboard or a system timer (most likely the latter) and is 
processed to create a message.  The "asynchronous event" refers to the 
system sending a message to the task, no?

I'm just looking for an explanation of what was meant by using "an 
interrupt".  If that was supposed to be a synonym for "asynchronous 
signal" then I understand.
