Good, I thought about doing it myself, but you are a much better choice.
If you need a beta site, let me know.

Without seeing the code, it's hard to guess, but here are some things to
check:

1) Are you calling TEActivate and TEDeactive on the appropiate activate events?
2) Do you call GlobalToLocal(&pt), where pt is the point you will pass to
   TEClick?  TEClick wants its points in local coordinates.
3) Is the size of the first argument to TEClick correct(a point, I think)?

I'd check these things first.  I can't think of anything else that might do
it.
