It may not be the best idea to poll the state of the mouse.  In the past,
this practice was deemed to be inefficient by the creators of the engine,
but more so, the mouseUp message was sometimes missed, especially is
fast-click situations. Thus Klaus's method of setting a variable state is
usually the preferred method.  Of course your mileage may vary.
