You can use:

; POTGOR	equ	$dff016

_RightMouseButton
		btst	#2,POTGOR	; right mouse button status
		beq	.rmbDown
.rmbUp		moveq	#0,d0
		rts
.rmbDown	moveq	#-1,d0
		rts

to check for the right mouse button.

I know about using hard coded numbers instead of labels, but remember
that this code is just for illustration purposes (i.e. code it as YOU
see fit).

You would use a routine like this after getting your MenuVerify and only
when you know that yours is the front screen.  This interferes in NO way
with the OS.
