  I need help ...

  I am new with CLIM 2.0, can anyone help me to find (or send me) some source 
  code written in ACL 4.2 and CLIM 2.0 (especially illustrating the use of 
  the method HANDLE-EVENT).

  For example, i'm searching for a simple bitmap drawing program which don't 
  use TRACKING-POINTER.

There are a number of examples in the clim-2.0 demo directory. You can
load these with 

	(require :climdemoxm)

and you can start the driver with 

	(clim-demo:start-demo)

However, these examples demonstrate the use of the higher level CLIM
layer rather than the underlying sheet and event layer (known as
silica). The only code I know of which uses the silica layer
extensively is the CLIM implementation itself. For most users'
applications the necessary functionality can be found without
resorting to programming at the silica level.

If your application really needs to do this then the only thing I can
suggest is that you read the CLIM 2.0 spec and if you need examples
you might want to consider purchasing a CLIM source licence. You may
need to do this anyway in order to allow any low level code you write
to co-exist happily with the existing CLIM implementation.
