No, why would anyone expect activity inside the drawterm session to change the behavior of the host OS?

The expected result would be to change the behavior of the mouse inside the drawterm session, just as the mouse(3) bits that are currently implemented facilitate the current behavior of the mouse inside the drawer term session. If I understand correctly, all that is missing here is implementing those bits (namely, ctl messages).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding and this is impossible, but if so, how can the mouse work at all? Drawterm already intercepts and interprets the mouse, right?
