just to create an terrain and use mouse to raise/down the terrain
like most of the editors do, just wonder how to do this,any code or example i missed?(i searched the code archive,no special!)

If you are talking about Blitz terrains, you could use CreateTerrain and ModifyTerrain.

no,just want to write a new simple one

perhaps you could research algorithms for raising/lowering the grounds. I haven't made an editor before so I wouldn't be of much help. Sorry

You may have heard this already, but I would recommend searching for existing terrain editors. There are some really good ones out there, some of them by other Blitz users, and many of them free. You don't have to, but it's usually best to save yourself having to "re-invent the wheel."
