Cool, but...
I have a data collection routine that operates at (relatively) long
intervals. It would be nice if I could say
Get Data;
Sleep(5sec)
Repeat
And keep it separate from the other code.
If I understand your event queue correctly, I still need the main loop to
calculate timing somehow, and a running (or idling) event loop to handle the
special event. Or is there some way to call a specific event handler when
needed? But that wouldn't buy me anything I don't already have. It's the
timing calculation that would be simplified in a separate thread, to run
different parts of the code at different rates...
Am I missing the point?

Hi, I do it like this, not sure its the best way, buts it neat and it works.
typedef enum { /* User defined events */
userReadPort = firstUserEvent,
userValidMsg,
userRadioBattLow,
userVectorRedraw,
userModeChange
} user_eventsEnum;
EventType user_event;
/* Post our own event to the queue */
user_event.eType = (eventsEnum)userRadioBattLow;
/* Add other paremeters here */
EvtAddEventToQueue (&user_event);
Get the event as any other palm event.
