Syntax: `*Desktop_PlayIt`

This command is used to start PlayIt's wimp task if it not already running. This allows PlayIt to be RMLoaded (eg prior to the desktop starting) rather than RMRun then the wimp task can be started independently.

It is OK to use this command if the wimp task is already running since it just returns if it is.

It is not practical to use this command in an Obey file since control does not get returned if the task is started. It can be used from within a live wimp task though using Wimp_StartTask. An application that requires the wimp task to be active can execute this unconditionally once it has verified that PlayIt is running (perhaps after RMLoading first).

The Ensure program uses this command to start the wimp task if required without having to reload PlayIt.
