Once a task has initialised itself successfully, it can open communications
with another initialised task by using
ams_path(),
specifying the name by which the other task is registered.
The path number returned can then be used for further communications with the
other task.
A short transaction consisting of a connection request message and an
acknowledgement from the slave task is carried out.
If the slave task is
waiting to receive a command,
the acknowledgement is sent automatically from within
ams_receive().
The acknowledgement is expected within MESSYS__INIT_WAIT_TIME
(currently 30000) milliseconds.
