* A finished task could be one that was canceled, aborted, or truly finished.  

* If the task was "canceled", it was canceled prior to actually starting.  This could
* happen if the task was canceled while waiting in a thread pool queue to be scheduled by Chilkat's
* background thread pool scheduler.  

* If the task was "aborted", it indicates that it was canceled while running in a background thread.  
* The ResultErrorText will likely indicate that the task was aborted.

* If the task "completed", then it ran to completion, but the actual success/failure of the method
* is determined by the result obtained via a GetResult* method.  (A "completed" task will
* have a StatusInt equal to 7.   If the task finished, but was not completed, then it must've
* been aborted or canceled:
IF (loTask.StatusInt <> 7) THEN
    ? "Task did not complete."
    ? "task status: " + loTask.Status
    RELEASE loTask
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The GetFile method returns a boolean.  Therefore, after the task is finished,
* we can get the boolean result by calling GetResultBool.  This is the return value had
* we called GetFile synchronously.
lnSuccess = loTask.GetResultBool()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    * The task's ResultErrorText contains what would have been in the LastErrorText property had
    * the GetFile method been called synchronously.
