	From people's replies to my earlier question, it seems that
	it isn't possible to have both a single and double click of
	a mouse button in a translation table and have them differentiated
	exclusively.  Some people suggested I would have to install an
	event handler or get low level event access.

	In a related question (probably a common one, but I don't see
	any relevant letters in my current set of articles) I want to
	handle a mouse click and then under certain circumstances, track
	the mouse movement.  I tried using Xlib XNextEvent calls from
	within my click action routine, but the MotionNotify events seem
	to be masked off.  I tried putting PointerMotionMask in the
	event_mask before XtCreateWindow, but that didn't seem to work.

	All I want to do is track the mouse from within a button down
	action function.  What do I need to do to make this work without
	messing up the toolkit?  Is there sample source somewhere?

						Thanks Very Much,
