Mouse.ButtonWait ... difficult to implement?

Post subject:  Mouse.ButtonWait ... difficult to implement?
My game uses Mouse.ButtonWait to get input from the user. It works well initially, but when I add other loops to my main program, it takes in the value of every click and outputs them when it reaches the loop.

For example, if I were to use Mouse.Where to detect whether something was clicked or not, (IE a button like 'Start' which would proceed to the game), the button will register as clicked but it will also register Mouse.ButtonWait as being down, which I don't want.

Here's an example.

code:
    var x, y, b, b2 : int

var displayCheck : boolean := false

loop
    Mouse.Where (x, y, b)
    drawfillbox (10, 10, 250, 250, black)
    if b = 1 and x > 10 and x < 250 and y > 10 and y < 250 then
        exit
    end if
end loop
x := 0
y := 0
b := 0
cls
loop
    if displayCheck = true then
        Mouse.ButtonWait ("down", x, y, b, b2)
        Draw.FillOval (x, y, 23, 23, black)
    end if
end loop


When the user is in the first loop, I want them to be able to click but not have it register in the Mouse.ButtonWait function..

So in conclusion is there a way to make the mouse usuable in the program without being registered in the Mouse.ButtonWait function until I'd like it to...?

you might want to try looking at the source for my button class here.
