I'm afraid I didn't undertand: you want the loop begin when the mouse
is clicked (ie: pressed and then released) don't you? Then it is necessary
a loop waiting for the button release after the button is pressed,
otherwise
it is not possible to distinguish between "first" and "second" button press
because the programs runs faster then your fingers!
