     Each event should have a type. These types must be previously defined in a menu item (#i) record. Events may have more than one type, but ones with no type are given the default type, "misc." The first type stated determines the event's icon. (Those types which have no specific icon use the default icon, a red star.) The type also determines how it is grouped for selection using the "Events" menu.
