There is a procedure called CURSOR (It appears in IDL, and should appear in
Wave as well but I'm not sure). You can use it with /DATA, /DEVICE and
/NORMAL coordinates.

Example:
plot,indgen(40),psym=1 ;plots '+' as the symbol.
cursor,x,y,3,/DATA ;Move the cursor onto a '+' and click with
;any mouse button.
print,x,y ;Ta-daah.

Have fun.
