By now you have learned how to create a framework, how to add commands,
how to write things to the combat frame (where they can be logged by the way)
and how to get your module initialized.
Next we will handle in game events.
There are a whole heap and bunch of events in the game, not all of which do anything.

[snip] replaced by the external file Interface\FrameXML\gorp.xml.
Then we add the event handler to gorp.lua and request we be notified when the ON_SIT event occurs
by adding the register event call in our onload handler. gorp.lua now becomes
[snip] replaced by the external file Interface\FrameXML\gorp.lua.
Restarting the game or reloading the ui now has the message
No sitting down on the job!
sent to the combat window every time we sit, either by typing /sit, pressing the x key or by going idle for long enough to sit.
I hope this gives you enough of a basic to get started on your own mods.
