This problem was solved by getting a correct TERMCAP entry for xterm. However, I'm getting some other odd behavior. First off, the mouse cursor has a an extra pixel turned on off to the left. Second, I can't get any mouse reaction in emacs unless caps-lock is set. This, of course, has pernicious effects when I go to add text. Then, all the mouse clicks are as documented (more or less). Third, when I want to use emacs for my editor when posting from rn, I have to go supply a window size from the mouse, which is a pain. Benson I.

One possibility is that your window manager is catching the other mouse events. When I was first setting up my .uwmrc, I incorrectly made assumptions about the behavior of uwm. The net result was that uwm trapped the mouse events that I wanted to use in emacs. > Third, when I want to use emacs for my editor when posting from rn, > I have to go supply a window size from the mouse, which is a pain. I don't know anything about rn, but unless the geometry is provided to GNU emacs, it will need to be placed. I personally prefer to use GNU emacs as an environment where I read news, read mail, and edit. My experience tells me that GNU emacs is not a good editor for invoking from another program to do quick editing. GNU emacs is huge and takes too long to load for that purpose. It seems to me that it would be better to start in emacs and deal with news and mail from within emacs.
