I have posted to net.sources two files for handling the BBN Bitgraph's mouse from GNU emacs. I'd like to hear reactions to them, especially the choice of functions to put on the mouse buttons. It would have been easier if I didn't have to write the routine to parse ANSI X3.64 sequences myself - maybe this could be one of the modes for (interactive) someday? Otherwise, making this code work was a cinch - the emacs extension environment is certainly pleasant. The reason for two files is that the first, intended for calling from .emacs, looks up your TERM envariable and only sets up for the bg mouse if that's what your terminal has. Other terminals could easily be added to this file. I hope these can get included into the standard distribution. Is there anything more I need to do to get that to happen? /jr
