Does the -run method of Application NEED to be invoked.

I need a little bit more control over the event loop.

(NO, I didn't design it poorly, I didn't design it. I am trying
 to integrate an old program into a NeXTSTEP environment.)

The program I'm trying to write a front end for (it was command line)
calls a function that is equivalent to getc, and this function needs
to return a character, probably dispatching other events while waiting
for the character to come in.

It's easy to get an event, but if I didn't wan't it how can I dispatch
it?

there's [NXApp getEvent: mask: threshhold:]
	(I don't have my manuals in front of me and I know
	that's wrong but you get the gist)

Ok, I can limit the events to KEYPRESS, but what if it's a command-key
or a control-key, or alt-key,...

Is there a way to dispatch these event's that I didn't want to get?
Should I peek and then take?

Is it ok never to call [NXApp run] and deal with all your events otherwise?

It would be nice if there was an [NXApp dispatch:event].

pondering...
