First place to check out is in the SCO Development System C Language Guide, subsection C library Guide, chapter 10 "Using the Event Manager". Next see the event library routine man pages ev*(S).

Actually I have R'd TFM. What I'm interested in is the interface with the mouse driver. The event manager shields the programmer from this insipid business. This insipid business, however, is precisely what I want information about. Thanks, incidentally, to all those who sent me event manager code. Thought it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it turned out to be very useful anyway. It will not go unused! -Richard L.
