I need to see some detail - this is just not possible as you describe
it.  The user id number has nothing to do with the tasks - they  run
only if you have privilege to start them butthat is a login/group
thing not an aips id number thing.  There is an adverb USERID, what is
it set to?  Some but not all tasks and verbs use that.  Any when you
say non-TV "tasks" are you including TVLOD as a TV "task" (it is a
verb not task) or only IMAGR, TVFLG, etc which are really tasks?
