An alternative to multitasking. Here multiple tasks are loaded into computer memory, where you can switch between them with a keystroke. Only one task, the foreground task, is running at any time-all the background tasks remain in suspended animation until you switch to them. The advantage is that you can switch between them instantly, and while they are the foreground task, they run at full speed. However, each task must have a full memory image, so you must have lots of memory on your system. The new MS-DOS 5. 0 has a task-switcher in its shell. 1, record 13, English, - task%20switching
