On the other side I am used to work with the mouse when I run EMACS in a X- Window on a sun. Does anyone know how to fix that problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

When I did a 'make' it choked on "can't do a make on 'usr/include/streams/error.h ' I looked in /usr/include/streams and see that error.h does not exist. Should it? Utilizing the mouse with emacs would be great if I could just get it to work. Any ideas would be appreciated. Rob

Host unknown), here is what I believe is the case with Emacs: Rumor has it that communicae, a nice terminal emulator with tek emulation, can be setup so that it allows you to use the mouse. John Myers also wrote a native Emacs frontend some time ago. I think it does not work under 2.0 yet (I used it under 1.0, and although it had problems with some specific fonts, it was very nice), but I am not sure. John's interface not only supported the mouse, but it was also an order of magnitude faster in updating screens, etc., than the terminal route (surprise!).
