View Ref-File8.7  Event library                                                 TOS

This library makes functions available with whose aid events can be 
recognized and processed. As a rule, program control is released to 
the operating system until the specified event has occurred. The 
following routines are available for this purpose:

 ∙ evnt_button  Waits for a mouse button press
 ∙ evnt_dclick  Obtains/alters the double-click response rate
 ∙ evnt_keybd   Waits for a keypress
 ∙ evnt_mesag   Waits for a message
 ∙ evnt_mouse   Waits for a move of the mouse pointer
 ∙ evnt_multi   Reacts to several events
 ∙ evnt_timer   Waits for a timer event

 ∙ Standard messages
 ∙ Message-list       Overview of all known messages, including:
                      Messages from Geneva
                      RSDAEMON messages

Note: 'event' in this case should be understood as a message, key 
press, mouse movement and button activation, timer events etc.
