  10. A complex operation, such as
  11. presenting a large contact tree, often takes the form of a ``chain reaction,''
  12. wherein the input events which precipitate from contact actions are processed to
  13. invoke still more actions and events, etc.  In order to synchronize its user
  14. interface, an application will sometimes need to wait until the complete chain
  15. of events has been processed before continuing the event loop.
  16. This synchronization of event processing is achieved by using the <#1641#><TT>process-all-events</TT><#1641#> function.
