Or perhaps it separates the half-elves from the hobgoblins.
Hard-and-fast rules are seldom valid in stylistic questions. There's
nothing wrong with having a prefix like "evt" or "on" or whatever;
there's also nothing wrong with a naming convention of PB_Open_Click
(PB for "PushButton" (which is what that GUI toolkit called them),
Open being what the button does, and Click is the event being handled
- that's the VX-REXX convention). Or having no specific event handler
and going straight to your "pick_record" function; that's fine too,
especially if you have multiple entry-points to that.

Frederic, you'll get a lot of advice on this list, but treat it as
just that - advice. There are very few actual rules; read what people
say and then make your own choices.
