How to handle multiple events triggered at same time.

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Rick, 
If I understand you correctly, you have a fork with each branch waiting for a
different event? 
If so, that should handle simultaneous events - if it doesn't, I'd suggest OSS.


One note: Do not rely on sequence of events within a few seconds of each other.
Event handlers are called by RFC, and all kinds of weird and wonderful things
can happen along the way. 

Cheers
Mike
