I have had success testing EITHER mouse key with evnt_multi, but it's
not a pretty method, and if you use it in conjunction with drop-down
menus it can do wierd things.  I used two calls to evnt_multi in a
loop, one checking for one mouse button, the other for the other,
while throwing in a timer event set at around half a millisecond (if I
remember correctly).  If evnt_multi with one button (and whatever
else) returns a timer event I run it with the other button, in a loop,
until I get something other than a timer event.  THe problem is, if
you set the timer event too quickly the menu bar does wierd things, or
doesn't work at all.  So if you really want to use evnt_multi, you
have to do what is the operative phrase with Atari--

   DEAL WITH IT.
