have a look at the WaitForSingleObject and WaitForMultipleObjects api
calls.
The can accept, among other handles, event handles:
  CreateEvent OpenEvent SetEvent PulseEvent ResetEvent CloseHandle
as well as process, thread, semephore, mutex, conio and various
file-change 
system message handles.
If you'd _really_ prefer to have wrappers that isolate you from all the
OS
dependant low-level bits, think about visiting ACE at:
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ or news://comp.soft-sys.ace

BTW wow, the new maillist software! realtime!
