I am trying to create a init which will patch getnextevent using the jGNEfilter
documented in the tech notes.  It mentions that a pointer to the event
record is in register A1.  I tried some assembly in LSC to move the
address to a local variable, but am having problems.


The code i tried was :

Eventrecord *theEvent;

	asm {
		move.l theEvent,A1
	}

When i check theEvent, there is NEVER a mouseDown or mouseUp.  (I had a sysbeep
in).  I don't really know assembly, so could someone tell me what is wrong
with what i am trying to do?  How can i properly get to the eventrecord
so that i may change or modify its contents?
