With the APPLY statement, you can actually send any event to any object that
has a trigger for that event. The AVM executes the trigger even if there is no default
handling for the event associated with that object type. Thus, you can use this feature
to extend the repertoire of developer events (predefined events with the names
U1 through U10) to include any event not normally
associated with an object. For example, you could apply CHOOSE to a
fill-in field, which does not normally support that event.
