!SLIPdial/Resources/UK/Help/event

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

event [/enable|/disable] <event-type> [<event-type> ... ]
 enables or disables events. You might want to disable events during
 sensitive script operations, such as logging in. Events will still be queued
 while disabled, but will not be acted upon until an "event/enable" is issued.
 Note that "stop" and "error" events cannot be disabled!
 Event types are as follows:
   sys    slipdial system events (cannot be disabled)
   time   timed alarms
   line   line alarms
   task   task termination events
   twin   taskwindow termination events
   input  user command input (command window)
   icon   click on user icons
   file   file dropped on user icons
   menu   user-defined menus
   eof    user-file EOF events
 Event specifications may be combined in one command, eg:
   event /disable all /enable line menu task
