I am missing something. How do I select a 3D object with the mouse cursor? Theory or code would help a lot.

Keep in mind that there are limitations to the "Pick Object" command, specifically; objects that are far away can't be picked by default. Usually you'll have to adjust the "Set Camera Range" to get things selectable again.
