1 - Yes and also to receive the words OK, WARNING, RECOVERY, etc....
2 - I checked the web's link and now I understood why this macro never comes. For testing that, I made a script which gives me all parameters and I noticed indeed that this macro does not exist for the event_handler! 

Do you known how many parameter could send the event_handler? 
Because my script received a max. of 9 parameters, is't that right??
