Yes and yes.

The mouseDown and mouseUp messages are sent with a parameter which tells 
you which button was pressed to trigger the message.  Because UNIX 
systems commonly have three buttons all three are supported, numbered 1 
through 3 from left to right:

on mouseDown pButton
   if pButton = 3 then DoRightClick
   else doLeftClick
end mouseDown
