collection; see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_mouse.3x.html">curs_mouse(3x)</A></STRONG>. Receipt of this code requires a

an escape sequence, as with a function key.
Some key strokes are indistinguishable from control characters; for
example, <STRONG>KEY_ENTER</STRONG> may be the same as <STRONG>^M</STRONG>, and <STRONG>KEY_BACKSPACE</STRONG> may be the
