Using gnome-terminal under linux, to a FreeBSD 6.2 system.  Mouse works.

I fire up screen (with screen 4.00.02 (FAU) 5-Dec-03 built from ports) and 
it doesn't in either Alpine or Nano, both of which otherwise support it.

Unlike printing, I don't know what terminal codes to look for to know if 
the mouse is supported.
