Because there are no standard terminal responses that would serve to
identify terminals which support the xterm mouse protocol, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> as-
- sumes that if your $TERM environment variable contains "xterm", or
- <STRONG>kmous</STRONG> is defined in the terminal description, then the terminal may
- send mouse events. The <STRONG>kmous</STRONG> capability is checked first, allowing the
- use of newer xterm mouse protocols.
