Can someone explain to me how the mouse_drag, click etc. events get passed from the new touchscreen monitors get passed to a computer and maybe a sample program?

New touchscreen monitors?

Right-clicking a monitor does the same as left-clicking a console window. Pretty much any program that uses clicks will be able to use the new advanced monitors.

Nope. Just get clicks like you normally would.

I thought it made an entirely different event, something about a monitor click being the first thing returned. the next is the side of the monitor and the other 2 params being the co-ordinates of the clicked character. that's how it worked for me

Well, you're more right than I am.
Apparently it returns the event "monitor_touch", then the side of the monitor, and x/y coordinates.

Getting clicks instead of monitor touch events is a behavior caused by using the monitor program to display a program on a monitor.

that is so cool :)/> I didn't expect you to convert the events automatically. NICE
