Rick is going to have to answer this, as I don't understand the
question. Are you looking for something like the PickData method
on an IDLgrWindow object:

David,

Sorry about the poor wording of my question. Despite that I believe
you have found the solution to my problem! It looks like the PickData
method will indeed do the job.
I'm still more of a direct graphics guy but with the help of your
book, Ron's book and Rick's camera object I'm trying to change all
that.

Many thanks,
Bill
