Hi, Stefan,

thanks for this hint, I didn't know about xterm-mouse-mode. It's better
than nothing, though the menu doesn't really work very well (whatever I
hit with my mouse (file, edit, options, buffers, tools...), I get the
same result as when I just use the keyboard.

Nevertheless, it is a step forward.

Next question:
I am not that well informed about gnus or emacs yet, how do I autoload
xterm-mouse-mode, what entry should there be in my .emacs?


thanks again
Peter
