In a regular graphics window, you would do something like
this:

Window
TV, image
Cursor, x, y, /Down
IF !Mouse EQ 1 THEN Print, 'You pressed LEFT button.'

But, typically, if you are asking for user input, you
will be doing this in a draw widget window, in which case
you will turn button events on for the window, and then
process the event in an event handler like this:

possibleEvents = ['DOWN', 'UP', 'MOTION']
whichButton = ['NONE', 'LEFT', 'MIDDLE', 'NONE', 'RIGHT']

thisEvent = possibleEvents[event.type]
buttonPressed = whichButton[event.press]
IF thisEvent EQ 'DOWN' THEN Print, 'You pressed the ' + $
buttonPressed + ' button down.'

Cheers,

David
