    There are various subroutines available.  I can tell you what they are,
  but not how to get them (anyone out there want to help...?).  Currently
  I am using mgr, a Bellcore product which has a few mouse functions in it.
  Unfortunately, it uses one mouse button for system commands.  It is
  quite painless to use.  You just link your program together with their
  library.  It does require that your program runs under the mgr
  windowing environment, however.
     Similarly, there is also Suntools (complicated) and XWindows (I didn't
  even look at this because it sounded too scary).
     Good luck!
