The short answer: the right click is special only if you want to make it
special.
The longer answer is: The AbstractCursor class implements the CursorTool
interface. Any cursor tool that is descended from this class will implement
the mouseClicked method. This method will be called whenever any of the
mouse buttons are clicked. The isRightMouseButtonUsed() method is only there
if the cursor tool needs to do something special for a right click. Don't
need a check for left click since if it is not a right click then must be a
left click. (this ignores a mouse with a middle button which can also be
detected). For instance the ISA constrained cursor tools use the right click
to end drawing the shape instead of displaying a pop-up menu.

I thought it might have something to do with a pop-up menu. Thanks for
the tip Larry. I'll check that out.
