Hello DLively. Yes, I believe I was successful. I used a series of these functions:

EVENT_CLICK
str_create
pan_setstring()
set()
reset()
mouse_left
mouse_pos.x
mouse_pox.y
mouse_mode

It seems to be working without creating buttons, although I might try using buttons in the future. But for now it seems to work in checking on the xy coordinate location of the mouse cursor, and when the left mouse button is clicked simultaneously, in seeing whether a player clicks on some text option.
