Wendell, thank you for your answer... I try to explain better:
- task1 makes a led blinking (in a while cycle)
- task2 print a simple "hello world"

I want "hello world" to be printed while led is blinking. How can I 
share CPU with these two tasks?
Shall I delete task at the end? Shall I define a semaphore?
I tried to modify task priority but it has no effects...
Even if led blinking (task 1) start, task 2 doesn't...

Hope now it's clearer...

     Luca
