2723.0. "List of recognizable events and their characteristics?" by VINO::BEYH () Wed Apr 08 1992 17:58

I would imagine MCC keeps a list of "All known events in the world", with
their characterisistics (text, type, etc..) so that it is able to recognize a 
valid event. Is this list in an MSL format? Could I possibly get a pointer
to this list?
Thanks.

    MCC does, but it's not in MSL.
    It's in the dictionary, so you can cruise through DAP and look for
    event definitions. They're kept on a 'per-class' basis, so you'll have
    to look at *each* class in the dictionary.

    If you wanted to, you could use the mcc_dict routines to query the
    dictionary from a program and do that to build a list. You could even
    reverse-engineer the MSL if you wanted.

    you can also take a look at the mcc_fdictionary.log file created when
    you update the dictinary. The log file lists all commands that it 
    processed, which will include the getevent directives (and all of the
    supporte event names).
