I recall hearing on the ncurses-list that the DEC vt1000 (and I think another) terminal emulation standard had support for mice. ie. One could define a rectangle on the screen, and pointer clicks within that rectangle would be recognized. The newer versions of ncurses also support mice... Offhand, I'm not exactly sure how this support manifests itself; whether it just reports mouse-clicks, or wether it could be used to provide some sort of console cut&paste... -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
