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. Ralf -- 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 : > >>> I had to update config.h >>>> > > /* #undef HAVE_XM_MANAGER_H */ > /*#define HAVE_XM_NOTEBOOK_H 1 */ > /*#define HAVE_X11_XPM_H 1 */ > > /* Define to the type of the XpmAttributes type. */ /*#define XPMATTRIBUTES_TYPE XpmAttributes */ -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
