Thank you one and all.

After posting, I discovered the source code to TaskList. Also, I discovered that there was a crud object too.

The project is requesting that as special comments are added that a related entry occur in the Task List. The project would scan that source code, and find these comments and record them in the list. It best appears that using the TaskList's methods (AddTask()) is my best approach.

Why is this utility not used much?
