how to return from callback function back to main( )?

Hi All,
I am trying to use the same mechanism shown in this example to POST data to
the HTTP server and  save the result in a chunk

http://www.w3.org/Library/Examples/postform.c

As I know, the program goes into the event loop to wait for the response
after calling HTPostFormAnchorToChunk( )
then, terminate_handler would be invoked once the response is received (or
timeout occurs)

However, I would like to handle the response in terminate_handler, return
from terminate_handler to back main( ), then keep doing something else
after this line HTEventList_loop(request).
Or, I just simply want to wait for the response in the event loop, then do
something to handle response afterwards ( don't invoke terminate_handler )

is it possible? if yes, how shall I do?

ps: please refer to the sample code below

PRIVATE int terminate_handler (HTRequest * request, HTResponse * response,
			       void * param, int status)
{
    if (status == HT_LOADED && result && HTChunk_data(result)) {
	HTPrint("%s", HTChunk_data(result));
	HTChunk_delete(result);
    }

    /* We are done with this request */
    HTRequest_delete(request);

    /* Terminate libwww */
    HTProfile_delete();

    exit(0);
}

int main (int argc, char ** argv)
{
    :::
    :::

    /* Add our own filter to update the history list */
    HTNet_addAfter(terminate_handler, NULL, NULL, HT_ALL, HT_FILTER_LAST);

    /* Set the timeout for long we are going to wait for a response */
    HTHost_setEventTimeout(20000);

    :::
    :::

    /* Create a request */
    request = HTRequest_new();

	    /* Set the default output to "asis" */
    HTRequest_setOutputFormat(request, WWW_SOURCE);

    /* Get an anchor object for the URI */
   anchor = HTAnchor_findAddress(uri);

    /* Post the data and get the result in a chunk */
    result = HTPostFormAnchorToChunk(formfields, anchor, request);

    /* Clean up the form fields */
    HTAssocList_delete(formfields);

   /* Go into the event loop... */
   HTEventList_loop(request);

   return 0;
}
