selecting an image with the mouse cursor by contact alone (without clicking)

[ben robinson]

you could use a Do...Loop Until in an Inline to continuously check for mouse
cursor position until some condition is met, for instance the cursor's x and
y position both meet some requirement (ie, If x > 5 and x < 10 and y > 5 and
y < 10 Then trial.ACC = 1, trial.RT = clock.read).  does that make sense?
