    The following is a brief explanation of each field:

    TASK NAME -  This is the ASCII name found in the task structure.

    PRI -  This is the task's current priority printed in decimal.

    ST -  This is the task's current state.  All states are abbreviated
        to three letters.  For example, RUN means this is the currently
        executing task, RDY means that this task is ready for the CPU,
        WAI means this task is currently in a wait state, etc.

    ADDRESS -  This is the address of the task's TCB (Task Control Block)
        printed in hexadecimal.

    P -  This indicates whether the task is a task, or a process.  'T' 
        indicates a task, 'P' indicates a process.

    CLI -  If the process is also a CLI process, the CLI task array number
        is printed in this field.

    I -  This field indicates whether the CLI process was started as
        an interactive 'I', or a background 'B' process.  Background
        processes are the result of the RUN command.

    COMMAND NAME -  This is the name of the command as DOS sees it in
        the filing system.

    CURRENT DIRECTORY -  This is the current working directory of the
        CLI process.
