Hi!

I'm trying to get some mouse events using console.device, and I've been
running into problems.

I asked for raw events 2,4,11,12 ( <CSI>2;4;11;12{ ), and successfully
received 2,11,12 . However, I managed only to get the button status, but
not the mouse position. I am trying to trap mouse click and to get the x,y
position, so that I could move the console.device cursor using the mouse, and
not only the cursor keys. I didn't get any raw event #4, and I am not even sure
I know what it is supposed to do. I was hoping to find the x,y location
in the x,y variables in event #2, but instead found 0,0 most of the time, and
a small signed value when I pressed the mouse button while moving it fast.

any help?
