;; This package provides access to mouse event as reported by the gpm-Linux
;; package. It tries to reproduce the functionality offered by Emacs under X.
;; The "gpm" server runs under Linux, so this package is rather
;; Linux-dependent.

;; The file, t-mouse was originally written by Alessandro Rubini and Ian T
;; Zimmerman and communicated with Emacs through the client program mev. Now
;; the interface with gpm is directly through a Unix socket, so this file is
;; reduced to a minor mode macro call.

"Toggle t-mouse mode to use the mouse in Linux consoles.
With prefix arg, turn t-mouse mode on iff arg is positive.

This allows the use of the mouse when operating on a Linux console, in the
same way as you can use the mouse under X11.
It requires the `mev' program, part of the `gpm' utilities."
