Being new to this type of ballgame I am not sure how often this has
been asked before:

I need to implement a small "CAD" system. I will only need to place a
few rectangles and lines connecting them (flowgraph).

What is a good or the "best" strategy to identify which line or box
the user has selected, getting a pair of coordinates from the mouse?
What data structure would make life easier?

Could you please mail to me directly, as I cannot read this newsgroup
for a few weeks.

thanks
