Using a Mouse in Terminal Emulators
===================================

   Some terminal emulators under X support mouse clicks in the terminal
window.  In a terminal emulator which is compatible with `xterm', you
can use `M-x xterm-mouse-mode' to enable simple use of the mouse--only
single clicks are supported.  The normal `xterm' mouse functionality is
still available by holding down the `SHIFT' key when you press the
mouse button.  The Linux console supports this mode if it has support
for the mouse enabled, e.g. using the `gpm' daemon.
