Does FreeBSD moused support the xterm mouse protocol, or is it the case that moused acts like gpm under GNU/Linux, providing generic support for tty programs? There is the t-mouse emacs lisp library which supports gpm/mev and allows `mouse-set-point' etc. - I don't think there is a similar library for moused. >> (You didn't say what you expected, so...) > > Sorry for that.
