Can someone give me some tips...

Environment:
	X11R2 toolkit and Athena widgets, UNIX/386 SYS5 rel. 3.2

I need to do character-by-character input from stdin while at the same time
handling events.  I see two ways of doing this:

1. Don't use XtMainLoop, use 'handle-a-char/XtNextEvent/XtDispatchEvent'.

2. Use XtAddInput.

Which has the better efficiency?

And regarding XtAddInput: the second parameter (condition) is documented
as 'specifies the mask that indicates either a read, write, or exception
condition or some operating system dependend condition.'

Can someone translate this for me and let me know what I'm supposed to
do for this parameter?
