29.PP
30\fBSDL_UserEvent\fR is in the \fBuser\fR member of the structure \fI\fBSDL_Event\fR\fR\&. This event is unique, it is never created by SDL but only by the user\&. The event can be pushed onto the event queue using \fI\fBSDL_PushEvent\fP\fR\&. The contents of the structure members or completely up to the programmer, the only requirement is that \fBtype\fR is a value from \fBSDL_USEREVENT\fP to \fBSDL_NUMEVENTS-1\fP (inclusive)\&.
