This is not very clear to me. Could you please elaborate?

When someone sends you a tasking, you will have Wilco on OSB 19 (or maybe 20, can't remember for sure) and you will have CNC on OSB 7. Clicking on Wilco means you accept the tasking and the red triangle will appear. Clicking on CNC means you cannot do the tasking and, apparently, the red triangle will not come up or will disappear if it is already on the TAD.

What Olaf is saying is that after he clicks Wilco and does what is tasked to him, he slews the TAD cursor over the red triangle to "hook" it again and then clicks the CNC button to get rid of the red triangle.

Ah, I see. So, I can hook the previous triangle and press CNC. By the way, when you receive the tasking you will see "WILCO" and "CNTCO". After clicking "WILCO" you get the red triangle and "CNTCO" (cannot comply) changes to "CNC" (cancel ?).

I do apologize Goblin. I've not tested this yet and it's been a while since I played with JTAC. I strongly suspect that we got the terms wrong but we are referring to the same thing. CNC = CNTCO. I'll have a go tonight with one of my JTAC missions to confirm.

Just tried this out. The Wilco and Cntco come up at the start of the tasking, but if you hook the red triangle again, CNC comes up where Cntco should be. Clicking it will get rid of the red triangle.
