    File:       IdleTask.h

    Contains:   IdleTasks are identical to normal tasks (see task.h) with one exception:
    
                You can schedule them for timeouts. If you call SetIdleTimer
                on one, after the time has elapsed the task object will receive an
                OS_IDLE event.
