How do we wait for an ‘or’ of multiple asynchronous events in 
this kind of code? In WinNT iirc there is a very nice o/s 
function that can wait on various kinds of asynch i/o, waiting on 
operations of different types if I’ve understood it correctly. 
The kind of thing I might want to do is wait on an or of IP 
packets arriving, send-completion of IP packets, timers 
completing, IPC messages coming in, key presses or event mouse 
events and the order in which these events arrive is of course 
not predictable. I might want a key press event to break out of 
something or to control an application. Everyone wants timer 
events for timeouts.
