I've been through apple.com, the technotes, inside mac, etc. but can't figure out where WaitNextEvent() is described. I think I know basically what it does but as of MPW3 I can't just replace calls to GetNextEvent() with the same arguments. What's the story? Will there ever be a document describing macOs?

Multifinder documentation is available from APDA. Apple sent preliminary
System 7 documentation to all registered developers.
WaitNextEvent takes two additional parameters:
a LongInt, the number of ticks, max, to sleep, before returning a nullEvent
a handle to a Region, in global coordinates. If the mouse goes outside
of that region, you'll start getting events informing you that the mouse is
outside your region. You are supposed to modify the cursor, modify the region,
and wait again.

Just a clarification, since I'm sure you already know this, you will get mouse moved events any time the mouse >is< outside the region given, not anytime the mouse >moves< outside the region
