Of course you can use RTLEventWaitFor (or other blocking functions) inside
the main thread, but then you need to he aware if the consequences: when
the main thread is blocked, then the GUI will be blocked as well, because
the GUI is handled by the main thread only. And a single thread can't do
blocking and running at once ;)
