If @code{cursor-in-echo-area} is non-@code{nil}, then @code{read-event}
moves the cursor temporarily to the echo area, to the end of any message
displayed there.  Otherwise @code{read-event} does not move the cursor.

If @code{seconds} is non-@code{nil}, it should be a number specifying
the maximum time to wait for input, in seconds.  If no input arrives
within that time, @code{read-event} stops waiting and returns
@code{nil}.  A floating-point value for @code{seconds} means to wait
for a fractional number of seconds.  Some systems support only a whole
number of seconds; on these systems, @code{seconds} is rounded down.
If @code{seconds} is @code{nil}, @code{read-event} waits as long as
necessary for input to arrive.

If @code{read-event} gets an event that is defined as a help character,
then in some cases @code{read-event} processes the event directly without
returning.  @xref{Help Functions}.  Certain other events, called
