Strictly speaking, that's not necessarily so. Certain console applications, for example w3m and aptitude, respond to mouse clicks when run in an xterm, and can launch other X apps if they wish. It might be more precise to say "Certain ncurses applications" in favor of "Certain console applications", but I'm not sure if that qualifier is necessary. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin
