I would imagine MCC keeps a list of "All known events in the world", with their characterisistics (text, type, etc..) so that it is able to recognize a valid event. Is this list in an MSL format? Could I possibly get a pointer to this list? Thanks. Cecile.

MCC does, but it's not in MSL.
It's in the dictionary, so you can cruise through DAP and look for
event definitions. They're kept on a 'per-class' basis, so you'll have
to look at *each* class in the dictionary.
If you wanted to, you could use the mcc_dict routines to query the
dictionary from a program and do that to build a list. You could even
reverse-engineer the MSL if you wanted.

you can also take a look at the mcc_fdictionary.log file created when
you update the dictinary. The log file lists all commands that it
processed, which will include the getevent directives (and all of the
supporte event names).
