     My response from another post:

    There are a couple of ways to do this:

     enterPoints - This enter function can prompt for points and use the callback to enter the information into a file.

     hiGetCommandPoint - gets the location of the pointer at the last click, place in a loop and as the user clicks the points, the points will be returned.

    3 - there are 3 ways to do this:

     hiGetPoint - Gets the current xy location of the cursor. Does not need a mouse click.
