From Introductory Lectures on Java -- An Overview Mixing Code and Comments Trip to China and Icase Tutorial -- July 12-28 and June 10-13 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Whenever the user moves the mouse, a message is sent from the client workstation to the Java system. It generates a form of interrupt called an event. Your Java applet can choose to provide a method which does appropriate response for any event. This is called an event handler - you must return true to show the general event handler that you have intervened.
