Regarding previous notes about where to put the computational effort to
determine whether successive events constitute double or triple clicks:
The user interface, either at the app (HotJava) level or better still,
the desktop (system-wide), should let *the user specify*
what delta in time, and what jitter in space,
bounds a multiple click event.
The computation should use these values as parameters to its calculations.
Some users type with a mouth-held stick,
and "mouse" through a straw-like device using breath,
or use eye-registration systems. The device or response
latency cannot be known to the app writers.
