I know that this is a "standard question", but:

If a routine is called at interrupt time, what is the best way for it to get
control back _not_ at interrupt time.  The only methods I recall hearing about
are patching _GetNextEvent (and possibly _WaitNextEvent, but probably there
is one patch which will cover all cases) and using jGNEfilter, which is a 
low-memory global, and thus bad.  (Also, I don't know where it is documented.)

So is there a better way to do this?  Failing that, what is the "accepted"
method?  Thanks in advance for any information.
