Mark is pretty much correct. Refer to Chapter 5 of your ES3.0 API Reference
for API calls to get mouse events.

The EasyScene GUI is another example of how to attach a GUI to an EasyScene
application. It has a couple of advantages. The GUI runs in a different
thread. Multiple GUI's can talk to EasyScene at once. You can detach GUI's
during runtime if you wish. It utilizes the EasyScene Comamnd Interface API
which you can extend with your own commands.
