Stephen,

I'm not sure this ever worked. Not sure, because I don't use this feature, so I 
didn't test it on zOS.

1) Is mouse support compiled in?
Check the output of :version for +mouse, +mouse_xterm.

2) Terminal mouse support is not enabled by default.
Have a look at :help mouse-using. You have to do :set mouse=a to get mouse 
support on a terminal. This is not enabled by default.

Also check the value of ttymouse with :set ttymouse?.

Yes, the port for zOS is somewhat incomplete. See :help zOS-limitations.

Thanks very much  

Yes  I did  use    set mouse=a  :) 

Thanks for the tips  

There are two possibilities I can think of
 
 1) termcap is missing or messed up 

2)  curses lib  does not have mouse support  ??

I will post one more questions before I leave this forum 

Which libs are needed to enable the mouse 
 ( do I need something other than the Standard curses lib )       

Do I need  ncurses or   xcurses  ???

Thanks again for those who have patiently endured my questions

One more P.S.

I did get the  gui=motif to compile and link 
(but NOTE: I had to manually update config.h  )  which implies that the 
configure 
Script for z/OS needs some work 

Here are the changes I made :
