Since I cannot reply directly (550 decwrl.arpa!zeus!erik... Host
unknown), here is what I believe is the case with Emacs:


Rumor  has   it that communicae,  a nice   terminal  emulator with tek
emulation, can be setup so that it allows you to use the mouse.

John Myers also wrote a native Emacs frontend some  time ago.  I think
it does not work under 2.0  yet (I used  it under 1.0, and although it
had problems with some specific fonts, it was very nice), but I am not
sure.  John's interface not only supported the mouse,  but it was also
an  order  of magnitude faster  in updating  screens,  etc., than  the
terminal route  (surprise!).   Look at {sonata|nova].cc.purdue.edu for
pub/next/Emacs*.
