The purpose of a use statement is to load the requested binary as part
of the calling configuration. Any script key assignments must be
entered manually.
Onto ToastEvent. Let's assume ToastEvent is in file toastevent.jss. A
simple use statement in default.jss that calls "toastevent.jsb" will
load that binary as part of the default configuration.
Calling toastEvent(hwnd) from the default windowCreated,
windowActivated, helpBalloon, etc, events is one working approach to
this dilemma, provided the support code is contained within, or
accessible to, toastEvent.jsb.
