Remote mouse??
Beartooth
I'm most of the way through the throes of getting my main email
account (*not* this one that I post from) shifted over from where it was
to a domain of my own, still hosted by my remote ISP.
Years ago, that kind host did something to make enable-mouse-in-
xterm work, even though I ran the old account (and am running the new)
under ssh, using a gnome-terminal under Fedora. (He also runs Fedora.)
[X] Enable-mouse-in-xterm is still checked in the new Alpine
configuration -- but it no longer works.
I find this an invaluable tweak, which my fingers have long since
adopted without requiring conscious attention. So now, of course, suddenly
I'm stumbling constantly in all directions with everything I try to write.
My host has long since forgotten how he made it work, and I never
really understood in the first place.
Can someone here tell us?

With help under the list, he found it! He writes :
It was in /etc/profile at the bottom:
DISPLAY=""
export DISPLAY
