Re: Possible bug in “kmous” in xterm-256color description

[Mike O'Brien]

I have now discovered how the “XM” entry in “xterm-256color” got deleted from 
my copy of the terminfo database.  It’s now been restored.

However, I now find that mouse position reporting is back to not working with 
this entry.  The “XM” entry apparently either isn’t sending the correct code to 
turn on reporting, or there’s something borked in the entry.  A modified 
“xterm-256color” entry that I created, that reverts back to the “1002” 
reporting method, however, does work, just FYI.

Thanks for your help!
