Hi Kevac, > I don't like it because it is X application. I cannot use it without X > loaded. What's wrong with having X loaded? I assumed you were using a desktop/workstation, not a remote server in my response to you. If you want to use the mouse, you have to use X. You don't need a bloated Desktop Environment, just a nice and slim display manager. vi uses ncurses, but I doubt it uses the (meager) mouse support in ncurses (IIRC, ncurses mouse support is not portable anyhow). Sorry, Kevac, -David Chipman
