I have a student who is interested in learning about Mac programming this
summer. In particular, she would like examples of the main event loop to
study. 
Since I am not a Comp. Sci type, I do not have the information readily
available for her. I have heard of Transkel(??) which provides the basic
loop, and I did get her a copy of Chernikoff's vols 1 & 2.

What she would appreciate is an up-to-date (i.e WaitNextEvent level) public
domain loop to study. Could some kind soul send me the source code of such
to give her? [The alternative is to force her to translate the MacApp
Object Pascal loop [I use MacApp to avoid this stuff but she is a sophomore
CS type who wants the gory details]. Hopefully a simpler(?) Pascal source
will help her understand the Event queue stuff more easily.]

For a CS student, she is excellent in mathematics :-). That is why I am interested in helping her Mac (yeah!) knowledge, and why I have contact with her (NO
PUN).
