Analysis

Since events 'happen' the use of this name for non happening 'events' is not really acceptable

Parser Commands ? (NEWFILE TEXTFILE => xTextfile + Include)

Parser anchor := event, graphic element ,



1. Non-happening events ; 										NH
	- user accessible  ; 										NH-UA
		xSpliter (presently non happening)
	- not user accessible/gui accessible 								NH-GA
		xAttr (data storage element)

			.. gui visually changeable-updatable (Amiga Text Gauge Image xTEXTBOX) 		NH-GA-VU
				xProgress, XRebar				.. gui internally changeable-updatable												NH-GA-IU
				xAttr ?

	- inaccessible visible graphic elements ? (Amiga Line, Circle, CText )        			NH-IA-V

2. Happening events						H
	- User triggered events				UT
	- Gui triggered events				GT
		xReqFile
		xReqFont
		xReq
	- 'System/outer triggered events 		OT
	- Selftriggering 				ST
		eg xRandom that would trigger at random times (eg queue simulations)
	- Not triggered 'events'			NT
			xONFAIL ?
