No PICK in MacWorkStation

Help!  I have an unsupported product from Apple called MacWorkStation which 
provides access to the Mac interface from a host-based application running
under UNIX (4.2 in my case).  The menu bars and window management and dialog
box stuff all works great, but the problem is that there is no code to support
a "pick" function for graphic objects or icons.  The stubs are in the code, but
they are just comments...   Has anyone written anything that causes a cursor hit event to be sent to a host, returning 
what was hit (window id, object id, object type, (x,y) location, or
anything like that)?  I also need the capability to enlarge graphic objects 
a la MacDraw, but this also requires the "pick" function.  

If anyone has any good ideas on how to implement this stuff, or if anybody has
MacWorkStation, please let me know.  thanks
