+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be
+invoked in the future whenever one of the event types specified
+by \fImask\fR occurs in the window specified by \fItkwin\fR.
+The callback to \fIproc\fR will be made by \fBTk_HandleEvent\fR;
+this mechanism only works in programs that dispatch events
+through \fBTk_HandleEvent\fR (or through other Tk procedures that
+call \fBTk_HandleEvent\fR, such as \fBTk_DoOneEvent\fR or
+\fBTk_MainLoop\fR).
+.PP
+\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
+type \fBTk_EventProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void \fBTk_EventProc\fR(
+ ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+ XEvent *\fIeventPtr\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a copy of the \fIclientData\fR
+argument given to \fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR when the callback
+was created. Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data
+structure containing application-specific information about
+the window in which the event occurred. \fIEventPtr\fR is
+a pointer to the X event, which will be one of the ones
+specified in the \fImask\fR argument to \fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTk_DeleteEventHandler\fR may be called to delete a
+previously-created event handler: it deletes the first handler
+it finds that is associated with \fItkwin\fR and matches the
+\fImask\fR, \fIproc\fR, and \fIclientData\fR arguments. If
+no such handler exists, then \fBTk_HandleEvent\fR returns
+without doing anything. Although Tk supports it, it's probably
+a bad idea to have more than one callback with the same \fImask\fR,
+\fIproc\fR, and \fIclientData\fR arguments.
+When a window is deleted all of its handlers will be deleted
+automatically; in this case there is no need to call
+\fBTk_DeleteEventHandler\fR.
+.PP
+If multiple handlers are declared for the same type of X event
+on the same window, then the handlers will be invoked in the
+order they were created.

+bind, callback, event, handler
