	The ##Type## field will contain the event type ID, while the remaining 4 integers will hold sensitive data to the event type. 
	
	__Event types__
		The event type is identified by an ID number returned into the first integer of the ##//event//## buffer (the ##.type## field in the ##EVENT## structure). Known event type IDs - and their values at time of writing - are:
	
		- ##EVENT_KEY_PRESS## (##1##) A key was pressed on the keyboard. The ##.scancode## field contains the platform independent scancode value for the key; if the key has an ascii representation, it is held into the ##.ascii## field, which otherwise has a value of 0.
		- ##EVENT_KEY_RELEASE## (##2##) A key was released on the keyboard. The ##.scancode## and ##.ascii## fields have the same meaning as with the ##EVENT_KEY_PRESS## event.
		- ##EVENT_KEY_REPEAT## (##3##) A key is being held down repeatedly. The ##.scancode## and ##.ascii## fields have the same meaning as with the ##EVENT_KEY_PRESS## event.
		- ##EVENT_MOUSE_MOVE## (##4##) The mouse was moved while it was on the program window. The ##.x## and ##.y## fields contain the new mouse position relative to the upper-left corner of the screen, while the ##.dx## and ##.dy## fields contain the motion deltas.
		- ##EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESS## (##5##) One of the mouse buttons was pressed. The ##.button## field has one bit set identifying the button that was pressed; bit 0 identifies the left mouse button, bit 1 the right mouse button and bit 2 the middle mouse button.
		- ##EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_RELEASE## (##6##) One of the mouse buttons was released. The ##.button## field has the same meaning as with the ##EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESS## event.
		- ##EVENT_MOUSE_DOUBLE_CLICK## (##7##)  One of the mouse buttons was double clicked. The ##.button## field has the same meaning as with the ##EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESS## event.
		- ##EVENT_MOUSE_WHEEL## (##8##) The mouse wheel was used; the new wheel position is returned into the ##.z## field.
		- ##EVENT_MOUSE_ENTER## (##9##) The mouse was moved into the program window.
		- ##EVENT_MOUSE_EXIT## (##10##) The mouse was moved out of the program window.
		- ##EVENT_WINDOW_GOT_FOCUS## (##11##) The program window has got focus.
		- ##EVENT_WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS## (##12##) The program window has lost focus.
		- ##EVENT_WINDOW_CLOSE## (##13##) The user attempted to close the program window.
		- ##EVENT_MOUSE_HWHEEL## (##14##) The horizontal mouse wheel was used; the new horizontal wheel position is returned into the ##.w## field.
	
	The ##fbgfx.bi## header file contains a definition of the ##EVENT## user data type, so it is not necessary to declare it manually.
