I am not sure whether this is an X11R2 problem or a gnu emacs problem, so I
posted to both. 

I have sucessfully compiled and run 18.50 under X11R2, but I have one small
problem, I can't get any mouse functions to work. I have read XDOC and 
NEWS etc. and looked in the code. I am pretty sure that it has to do with
the value of the lisp variable xterm not being set or being reset to Qnil,
but I can't figure out exactly why or what. The symptoms are:

emacs brings up an X window, loads a bunch of .el files and waits for input
if i click the mouse i get 2 feeps and nothing happens
if i load x11-win.el and/or x-mouse.el and click the mouse i get the message 
"Terminal does not understand X protocal"

echo $TERM shows xterm as my terminal type
uwm is running
i am running on a 386 box under a BSD clone

i am frustrated

has anyone gotten the mouse to work with 18.50 ????

P.S. 

a bit ago i posted a question to ca.unix and received a number of arrogant
and/or pompous replies, please, the sign of your superior intellect is
your ability to help...
