Choose Browse Tool with click

[Scott Rossi]

I realize I should have included the object selection in the
mouseDoubleDown handler:

on mouseDoubleDown
   choose pointer tool
   select the mouseControl
end mouseDoubleDown


Also, if controls will have code that can be activated, you may want to
use the these handlers in a front script to preempt the controls' code
from firing.
