Regarding the difference between the terminal hardware definitions and terminal software definitions for PCPI SFTVIDEO, you can consider these two things to be "interface" definitions. The hardware definitions tell SFTVIDEO how to communicate with your 80-column card (or whatever) using the control- or ESCape sequences which are typically used to invoke various card functions, e.g. clear screen; goto x,y etc. These definitions should be found in the manual for the terminal (80-col etc) card. The software definitions are the code sequences, typically ESCape sequences, which are used to communicate between your software and SFTVIDEO. You will see examples of this for example in the terminal installation INSTALL/WINSTALL programs for Wordstar. Basically, this allows you to connect completely different terminal control functions in you software to those in your hardware. I hope this helps Gordon Marwood P.S. I know nothing about the mouse characters as I don't use a ][e.
