In a terminal emulator which is compatible with @command{xterm}, you
can use @kbd{M-x xterm-mouse-mode} to give Emacs control over simple
uses of the mouse---basically, only non-modified single clicks are
supported. The normal @command{xterm} mouse functionality for such
clicks is still available by holding down the @kbd{SHIFT} key when you
press the mouse button. Xterm Mouse mode is a global minor mode
(@pxref{Minor Modes}). Repeating the command turns the mode off
supported. Newer versions of @command{xterm} also support
mouse-tracking. The normal @command{xterm} mouse functionality for
such clicks is still available by holding down the @kbd{SHIFT} key
when you press the mouse button. Xterm Mouse mode is a global minor
mode (@pxref{Minor Modes}). Repeating the command turns the mode off
again.

its NEWS.)
