Aha, bookmark David's message folks! This is the FIRST time I have seen
written in plain english what the EVENT_FUNC actually returns and how
and where it returns it! David Fanning has used this in the past (I
struggled with a list item widget of his a long time ago with little
success understanding it until now).
Thanks David, and Phil for the asking!
