You need to create a ClickList in a ModeFile to use this ability, see
Manual -> Reference -> Syntax of ModeFile file -> ClickList.

The general syntax of a Clicklist is:

  ClickList <name>
    <name of search expression>  <tab>  <list of functions>
  End

The name can be anything but if you want to use the mouse you'll need to
use one of these names: Select1, Select2, Adjust1, Adjust2 where the
digit indicates single-click or double-click.

The ClickList name can be prefixed with one or more of a, c, s to
indicate which modifier keys need to be held down. For example:

  cs-Select2 = Doubleclick with Select, with ctrl and shift pressed.

The name of the search expression needs to match a named expression in
the Search section of the ModeFile.

The list of functions is one or more of StrongED's functions separated
by spaces.

To run a file when a filename is double-clicked you could use:

  Search
    FileSys   "ADFS" | "RAM" | "SCSI" | "SDFS"
    FileName  FileSys "::" {~(Ctrl|White) Any}+
  END

  ClickList Select2
    Filename   Run("Filer_Run <StrongED$Tmp_MarkWord>")
  End

Mentioning it on the Introduction page of the website. Currently there's
only a brief mention of some of StrongED's features. Describing some of
its features, like ClickList, in more detail is what Jim was suggesting.

Cheers,
Fred.
