Also, user actions with buttons 2 and 3 (other - than chorded <tt><font size=+1>Cut</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>Paste</font></tt>, which behave normally) have no immediate - effect on the window; it is expected that - the program reading the <tt><font size=+1>event</font></tt> file will interpret them. The messages - have a fixed format: a character indicating the origin or cause - of the action, a character indicating the type of the action, - four free-format blank-terminated decimal numbers, optional text, - and a newline. The first and second numbers are - the character addresses of the action, the third is a flag, and - the final is a count of the characters in the optional text, which - may itself contain newlines. The origin characters are <tt><font size=+1>E</font></tt> for writes - to the <tt><font size=+1>body</font></tt> or <tt><font size=+1>tag</font></tt> file, <tt><font size=+1>F</font></tt> for actions through the window’s other - files, <tt><font size=+1>K</font></tt> for the keyboard, and <tt><font size=+1>M</font></tt> for the mouse. The - type characters are <tt><font size=+1>D</font></tt> for text deleted from the body, <tt><font size=+1>d</font></tt> for text - deleted from the tag, <tt><font size=+1>I</font></tt> for text inserted to the body, <tt><font size=+1>i</font></tt> for text - inserted to the tag, <tt><font size=+1>L</font></tt> for a button 3 action in the body, <tt><font size=+1>l</font></tt> for - a button 3 action in the tag, <tt><font size=+1>X</font></tt> for a button 2 action in the body, - and <tt><font size=+1>x</font></tt> for a button 2 action in the tag. - If the relevant text has less than 256 characters, it is included - in the message; otherwise it is elided, the fourth number is 0, - and the program must read it from the <tt><font size=+1>data</font></tt> file if needed. No - text is sent on a <tt><font size=+1>D</font></tt> or <tt><font size=+1>d</font></tt> message.<br> - For <tt><font size=+1>D</font></tt>, <tt><font size=+1>d</font></tt>, <tt><font size=+1>I</font></tt>, and <tt><font size=+1>i</font></tt> the flag is always zero. For <tt><font size=+1>X</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>x</font></tt>, the flag - is a bitwise OR (reported decimally) of the following: 1 if the - text indicated is recognized as an <i>acme</i> built-in command; 2 if - the text indicated is a null string that has a non-null expansion; - if so, another complete message will follow describing the - expansion exactly as if it had been indicated explicitly (its - flag will always be 0); 8 if the command has an extra (chorded) - argument; if so, two more complete messages will follow reporting - the argument (with all numbers 0 except the character count) and - where it originated, in the form of a fully-qualified - button 3 style address.<br> - For <tt><font size=+1>L</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>l</font></tt>, the flag is the bitwise OR of the following: 1 if - <i>acme</i> can interpret the action without loading a new file; 2 if - a second (post-expansion) message follows, analogous to that with - <tt><font size=+1>X</font></tt> messages; 4 if the text is a file or window name (perhaps with - address) rather than plain literal text. - For messages with the 1 bit on in the flag, writing the message - back to the <tt><font size=+1>event</font></tt> file, but with the flag, count, and text omitted, - will cause the action to be applied to the file exactly as it - would have been if the <tt><font size=+1>event</font></tt> file had not been open.<br> - - </table> - <tt><font size=+1>tag</font></tt> holds contents of the window tag.
