Use the mouseclick() command to figure it out. If it returns a value of 1, the left button is pressed, a value of 2, the right button. You can add them together to find the event of both, 1+2=3, so 3 means both buttons at the same time. To find the return value:

+ Code Snippet

`Change returnvalue to 1 (left button)
`2 (right button)
`or 3 (both at the same time)
if mouseclick()=returnvalue
`commands go here
endif

Gentlemen, your physics books were wrong. All of everything consists of two elements: me and the computer.

and another slightly less used but still useful fact:
the middle mousebutton is 4 so... you can add and have it do something for any combination of buttons
eg.:

+ Code Snippet

do
` all numbers 1-7 have a combination hence
if mouseclick()=1 then print "left button clicked"
if mouseclick()=2 then print "right button clicked"
if mouseclick()=3 then print "left and right buttons"
if mouseclick()=4 then print "middle button"
if mouseclick()=5 then print "middle+left"
if mouseclick()=6 then print "middle+right"
if mouseclick()=7 then print "all mouse buttons"
cls
loop
