Please clarify: what are the semantics when using screen -x, say with one TERM=xterm and one TERM=linux ? Also, does this work correctly with xterm -e screen ssh fooserv screen emacs -nw -- that is, when the "inner" screen sees TERM=screen rather than TERM=xterm? It seems to me that TERM=screen should be included in the list of term types that screen expects to support mouse inputs. > (This is _exactly_ why terminfo needs to be extended to allow > advertising this feature.)

Oops, I guess that answers my second question :-) _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
