Max,

While you can roll your own events, why not use FB's window Dialog 
handlers? They're a lot less trouble.

At any rate, maybe something like this (written hurriedly off the top 
of my head as I head back to work. I borrowed the FB gFBEvtPt& global 
in my rush.)

local fn DoEvent
dim ev           as ^EventRecord
dim @ thisWindow as ^CWindowRecord
dim as long windowPart, done

ev = event

select case ( ev.what )
// Detect mouse down
case _mButDwnEvt
// Find where in window mouse has clicked
windowPart = fn FindWindow( gFBEvtPt&, thisWindow )
long if ( thisWindow )
select case ( windowPart )
// If mouse click is in the Go Away button...
case _inGoAway
// ... animate the Go Away button...
done = fn TrackGoAway( thisWindow, gFBEvtPt& )
// ... and close the window...
call DisposeWindow( thisWindow )
// ... and return to event loop
ev.what = _nullEvt
end select
end if
end select

end fn

on event fn DoEvent

dim as long   i, x, l, t
dim as str255 s
dim as rect   r

setrect( r, 50, 50, 350, 250 )
x = 5
for i = 1 to 5
s = "Window " + str$( i )
window x, s, @r
print "Click my Go Away button to close " + s
offsetrect( r, 20, 20 )
