From article <25621@apple.Apple.COM>, by dwb@Apple.COM (David W. Berry):
| 	Well to quote Inside Mac, Page I-257:
| 	"If no event of any of the designated types is available,
| 	GetNextEvent returns a null event"
| 
| 	and Page I-258:
| 	"Before reporting an event to your application, GetNextEvent first
| 	calls the Desk Manager function SystemEvent to see whether the
| 	system wants to intercept and respond to the event.  If so, or if
| 	the event being reported is a null event, GetNextEvent returns a
| 	function result of FALSE;"
| 
| 	While it doesn't explicitly say that the event will be turned into
| 	a null event, it also certainly doesn't imply that it will.

Yes, you're correct.  But it's unclear.  I realized that only afterward.
In my opinion, the first quote contradicts the second.
