 GHOTSPOT()
 Defines Mouse Hot spots for all mouse subsystems
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax
      GHotSpot( <nTopRow>, <nLeftCol>, <nBotRow>, <nRightCol>, <bAction>, ;
                 <nButton>, <nSleep>, <lRelease>) -> <nId>

 Arguments
     <nTopRow> - the top row of the area
     <nLeftCol> - the left column of the area
     <nBotRow> - the bottom row of the area
     <nRightCol> - the right column of the area
     <bAction> - Code block which will be executed when
              mouse is clicked in the area
     <nButton> - Optional button number for action to occur. IF
              equal to 0 or NIL, the action occurs on
              clicking anybutton (the code block can decide
              what to do with based upon the button). If equal
              to 1, code block executes only on left click,
              if equal to 2 only on right click and if equal
              to 4(?) then the middle button.
     <nSleep> - Optional value of a minimum time (in seconds) to
              wait between servicing multiple button presses.
              Prevents routine from operating too quickly and
              reading the press of a button multiple times
              when not intended. If =NIL then the default value
              is used (see MDefSleep()).
     <lRelease> - Optional Logical Value. If set to .T. the
              servicing routine will pause after the completion
              of bAction for the release of the mouse button(s)
              Useful for guaranteeing no multiple hits on
              an area. If =NIL then the default is used (see
              MDefRelease())

 Returns
     nId which is an ID to be used to remove the area with a call
              to RemHotSpot(nId)
 Description
     This routine defines a hot spot for all mouse subsytems, which will
     be activated if the user clicks the mouse in the defined area. The
     action which is executed is defined by the code block bAction which
     is called with five arguments:

                 nButNum: the number of the button pressed with
                          1=left, 2=right, 4=middle(?).
                 nRow: The row that the mouse cursor was in when it
                       was clicked
                 nCol: The column that the mouse cursor was in when it
                       was clicked
                 nTime: The time returned by SECOND() shortly after the
                       button was clicked.
                 nId:   The hot spot Id number.

        Thus the code block should have a form similar to the following
        if one wishes to use the button/cursor information:

      {|nButNum, nRow, nCol, nTime, nId| MyFunc(NButNum,nRow,nCol,nTime,nId)}

 Examples
      GHotSpot(1,10,1,20,{|| ShowHelp()},1,,.T.) // hot spot shows help
