// This program creates a blank window and shows how to listen
// and use mouse events.  This program allows users to draw
// lines by clicking with the mouse.  A double-click ends
// the current series of lines.  A right-click clears the window.
// (In addition to the test for a right-click shown, you can also
// test a MouseEvent e for shift-click, alt-click, ctl-click, etc.)
