[GRASS-dev] function to get mouse position - too vague

[Zoltan]

Hi again,
OK, I was far to vague.......
What I am looking for is where in the digitising functions the 
mouse-clicks are collected to add/edit/etc the geometry elements.

I'm scratching through the 'C' progs and .py folders ..........but some 
guidance would shorten my quest.

Thanks and keep well,
Zoltan
