If you look at the basicsystemenv.bet file, the SystemEnv is defined
in the lib slot, but system is local to SystemEnv, and hence, not
"available" from the lib slot.

If you are going to put Event_User in a library file and define it
inside SystemEnv, you have to use the systemlib:attributes slot
defined in SystemEnv and make
'/local/lib/beta/basiclib/current/systemenv' origin:

	ORIGIN '/local/lib/beta/basiclib/current/systemenv';
	--- systemlib: attributes ---
	Event_User: system 
	(# do ... #)

Now, the main program ought to work (after some small fixes).
