I want to receive both mouse buttons using evnt_multi().
The Atari Doc say that for evnt_button() that the parm for the mouse
buttons you're waiting for is a bit mask with the left button as 
0x0001 and the right as 0x0002. Also they say that the button state
(up/down) also uses the same bit positions so that:

breturn = evnt_button( 1, 0x3, 0x3, &mx, &my, &buttons, &kstate );

says to me wait for one click of either left or right mouse buttons.
Now evnt_multi() says it uses the definition from evnt_button().

YET...Atari Canada Newletter V1 #3 (yes they did once exist and
everytime I call Julius at Atari Canada he says he's preparing the 
next release, the next newsletter will most likely be a book :) on
the last page mentions Right Mouse Button Handling and that I'm 
suppose to tweek vex_butv() to setup my own handler for button changes. 

...sigh...

Well how do I get both mouse buttons?
