Hi.  It looks like this comment is out of date for a while now.  There is
no EventsFields as you noted - the event handling mechanism migrated to the
EventManager class quite a while ago.  This comment should definitely be
fixed (and will be shortly).

If you wish to follow this further, the method Object>>actionMap is how the
appropriate EventManager instance is found.  Further, the related methods
are in the *System-Object Events-accessing method category (and
sub-categories).

Thanks,
cbc
