Using The Mouse To Specify A Graphic Window Location

Syntax	gcoord
See Also	gcoord(x, y) and gaddwin

Description
Suspends O-Matrix execution until the button of the pointing device is pressed in the currently active graphic window. When the button is pressed, the relative coordinates within the window of the pointing device is returned.

Example
You can use this function to place text at a certain location within a graphic window. If you enter
     begin
