In order to be able to have mouse support across telnet, you must be using both Pragma Telnet Server and our Console Telnet Client. To get mouse support across telnet, the TERM variable must be set to WindowsTerm. This can be done in one of two ways:
1. To set WindowsTerm on a temporary basis, at the command prompt, type:
SET TERM=WindowsTerm
This will only be in affect in the same console the command was typed in.
2. To set WindowsTerm on a permanent basis
In Windows95/98:
Add the line TERM=WindowsTerm to the autoexec.bat file, then reboot the
system.
In other Windows platforms:
Go to Control Panel\ System\ Environment Tab and create the environment variable with “variable” TERM and “value” WindowsTerm, either on a per user (user variable) or system-wide (system variable) basis
Full keyboard and international keyboard support is available when using the WindowsTerm emulation. Using WindowsTerm, the key event is sent through the telnet session. The key event contains full information on a key press, including the control state.
