From: Jim Leonard 

I know there's a Turbo Vision group, but it seems dedicated to the C
version, and that group seems less-frequently monitored than this
one.  I ask because I'm about to actually write my first TV
application, and wondering if I should even consider trying to ask for
help here.  I have gone through the 12-section tutorial in the BP 7 TV
manual, including typing all the source myself, so I have a basic idea
of how to proceed.  I think my questions will fall more along the
lines of "What is the 'Turbo Vision' way to perform this application
function?".

Along those lines, here's my first question:  If everything in the TV
application framework is event-based, doesn't that mean the main event
handler could get extremely large, like several hundreds of lines
long, with a hundred or more event handlers?  And is that best
practice, to put every event handler in a single loop, even for events
that are only generated/handled by modal dialogs? (by "modal" I
believe it means "grabbing focus until closed")

Is there source code for any large TV programs (applications, not
libraries or utilities) out in the wild that I could study?  Most of
what I poked through in Garbo and SWAG looked like library units and
dialog designers, not actual finished TV programs.
