Don't be sure that these ID's are fixed, because they are in fact
handles to task state descriptors, which are kept in linked list.
AMS 2.xx has some functions for returning task IDs for a specified
application. I am not sure about their usage yet.

ROM CALL 129. Note that this romcall was cfindcertfield function
in AMS 1.xx. This function is removed in AMS 2.xx. But, anyway
romcall 129 in AMS 2.xx is not so useful, because it only bring
up the VAR-LINK dialog, i.e. you need to install an event handler
to get the name of selected variable. In other words, this
function is just a replacement for
EVENT ev;
ev.Type=CM_KEYPRESS;
ev.extra.Key.Code=4141;
EV_defaultHandler(&ev);
and nothing more.
