[comp.sys.atari.st] object editing problems

(----------------------------MUNCH--------------------------------)

I have been having some trouble using the objc_edit call from MWC.
While I can get the graphic cursor to appear as well as inputing
characters, I have not been able to save the text that appears on
the screen. I have tried getting to the member of the tedinfo 
associated with the object I want to edit, but I get trash. Does
anybody out there have a clean routine for gem text i/o ?

I am also looking for a clean way of determining if the left button
on the mouse has been clicked. This is all the information I want, not
the location, etc. I couldn't find anything in the docs, but I know 
there must be a way.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
