Grid paper.png  Example
The program adds an event which it will eventually pull.
Code
os.queueEvent("abc", 2, "meow")
while true do
    local event, param1, param2 = os.pullEvent()
    if event == "abc" then
        print("ABC EVENT! Parameters: " .. param1 .. " / " .. param2)
    else
        print("Event: " .. event)
    end
end

To easily have a redstone and a key input do the same,
it queues a key event with the appropriate key if a redstone event happens.
Code
while true do
    local event, param1 = os.pullEvent()
    if event == "redstone" then
        if rs.getInput("left") then
            os.queueEvent("key", 28)
        end
    elseif event == "key" then
        if param1 == 28 then
            print("Hello")
        end
    end
end
