To do so we would probably need to create a function similar to tn5250_display_set_cursor_home() which would take as coordinates of the mouse click given to us from gpm. I'm not sure how gpm interacts with curses. If curses has mouse handling in it then there should be a way.

Well, I don't really know anything about curses/gpm interaction, but I do know that a) gpm depends on (n)curses, and b) "elinks" text-mode browser works with gpm...the gpm part appears to be in src/osdep/os_dep.c in the tgz. It doesn't seem too hard. (Famous last words) Perhaps it would be useful as a basis? Unfortunately, gpm and libgpm seem to have little if any documentation on using the library.
