That worked - BOTH Methods! The mouse is actually working in midnight commander thru screen now! Thank you very much. Solution 1: (Spectrum) type: screen type: export TERM=xterm then: mc The export command allows mouse support in the putty terminal. Solution 2: (Beckp) Seems to combine this into the screen command, so just start screen by type: screen -T xterm then: mc It is so easy just to do one of the above, I have not tried to integrate it into a .screenrc file either.
