I have been useing MacTerminal 1.1 for a while now, but just noticed that
the cursor changes when you press option.  A little experimentation shows
that some kind of escape sequence is sent when you press the mouse button
with option held down.  The escape sequence seems to depend on where the
mouse cursor is relative to the blinking terminal cursor.

I don't yet have the updated manual for MacTerminal and the one that came
with it mentions nothing about this.  Does anyone know what the escape
sequences are?  Could I really use them to do editor cursor positioning
with the mouse?
