I am on a sun work station running 4.2 UNIX and sun release 2.2 .

What I would like to do is start a shelltool up and then rlogin to a vax.
Once there I would like to run Gosling's emacs.

My trouble is that I do not have any mouse support on the remote system
because shelltool traps all the mouse movements and button motions to do
selection in the current window.

Now before I reinvent the wheel, I would like to know if anyone as a written
a shell which takes no action on the mouse buttons. I think if the mouse
emissions are sent to the remote host the gemacs over there could handle the
support. Maybe someone could also tell me what would happen if I had the
sun window handling code compile into the gemacs on the remote system.

If anyone wants to know why I don't just run gemacs on the sun. Well, I love
the suntools enviroment, but lets face a VAX 8600 is a hell of a lot faser
then a 68000.

Thanks for you time,
