Please excuse the rather extreme delay in answering your message. We
have been working for a long time on a source code release of
geomview, which is finally ready. The new version has a comprehensive
user's manual, which includes information on how to write your own
module. Example 3 explains details of a module for interactive
face/edge picking.

You can get the whole distribution from geom.umn.edu as
pub/software/geomview/geomview-src.tar.Z, or just the manual as 
pub/software/geomview/pieces/manual.tar.Z.
