Hi Adam,

Here is a small outline of some cases where it works and where it
doesn't. Legend: "+": works, "-": doesn't work

Application Screen/Console Screen/XFree86/Rxvt Console XFree86/Rxvt

Lynx - - - +
Elinks - + + +
W3m - - + +
Jed - - + +
Mc - - + +
Slrn - - - +

As you can see "nothing works" with screen on the console and only
with elinks in an rxvt.

Should it be any different from ordinary console behaviour in this
respect? Jed, mc and elinks actually do provide mouse support on the
console (Lynx could be made to, if one recompiles ncurses with support
for mouse events and then compiles Lynx against it) so I think it ought
to work in screen too..?

Screen version: 4.00.02 (FAU) 5-Dec-03
$TERM inside screen: "screen-bce"
$TERM outside screen/console: "linux"
$TERM outside screen/rxvt: xterm-xfree86

I am available for more info and debugging if you need it.

Thanks,

Morten
