A note - the terminal escape sequence which is appearing on some
people's screens is intended to clear the screen and turn the cursor
off.  But when it got to my site (and apparently to others), it was
goofed up.  It looked like the escape character had been embedded
directly in the source, as opposed to specified as an octal constant.
Big mistake... I suppose the escape character got stripped out at
some site along the line.

The original line in the source is:

	wputs(wn,"[2J[=1C");

and should be changed to

        wputs(wn,"\033[2J\033[=1C");

However, I had no problems with the mouse arrow even before I made
this fix.  The correct escape sequence just cleans up the display
a little better.
