Changing a wait event's key

[Michael Pokraka]

G'Day and a Happy 2005 to all, may the work flow freely... 

I know it's been a while, but I've come up with a semi-elegant solution and
figured it'd be fair to share it for anyone that may be stuck with an object
with an identity crisis: 

I've created a wrapper function ZWF_CREATE_EVENT_VIA_OBJECT with the same
interface as SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT that basically instantiates the object, gets
it's key and calls SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT. 
This is about as generic as I can get it, and will ensure that any key fudging
in the ExistenceCheck method is always taken into account for both flows and
custom-raised events. 

Hope it helps someone.... 
Cheers
Mike
