No it doesn't. It's strictly code such as
event.create(1,1,"m[1]=2\r if(m[1])\r") ...
and similar stuff. No [EMAIL PROTECTED] type triggers.

Would anywhere include an event?

I don't know that the map handle is an integer. It looks more like a
string to me. If you print it using win.debug you usually see something
like "mXN" where X is some non-printing character, and N is an integer.

Ascertain like in "make it up"? It's an idea.
However, my "problem" is that it works while it shouldn't. So I'm afraid
that something will break it in the future, unless I understand why it
works.
The following shows that accessing a static map from an event doesn't
work, at least on my system--PP correctly complains "invalid map m". But
the more complicated script that I was referring to in my previous post
does work, unexpectedly.
I remain puzzled :-)
--sgp
static m
local s
setstring s win.debug("m[",event.this,"] =",m[event.this])
if( not map.exists(m) )do
m = map.create(1)
win.debug("map",m,"created")
endif
m[ event.create(1,1,s) ] = random(100)
quit
