Kevin:
Thanks for the info.
I have since added the ability to use the arm start trigger instead the start trigger, and it does what I was looking for.

Well, the regular start trigger works with output pulse tasks.
Which brings up another question: on a board with analog trigger circuitry, can you use an analog trigger for an task that accepts a regular start trigger? I don't seem to have a board with analog trigger, so I can't try it.
I find the documentation to be not as clear sometimes as it could be. I also find that it is often difficult to find the particular spot in the documentation where something is disscussed. That is partly because sometimes pieces of a given topic are scattered about.
Sure wish it was in a PDF so I could actually read through it!
