And just exactly who says you can't have mouse support in 
the terminal-host paradigm?

3487, 3488, and 3489 terminals, as well as the old Twinax 
Yestations from Affirmative, ALL have mouse support. 
Minimal types of mouse support, like turning CUA-compliant 
function-key legends into clickable mouse buttons (i.e., 
"Simple Hotspots") is built in, as is cursor-positioning, 
copy-and-paste (both linear and rectangular), split-screen 
session-switching and divider-moving, and so forth. And 
most good emulators have all those features as well (and 
in one of the few areas where an emulator can outperform a 
terminal, most of them actually improve on the built-in 
mouse support). And it's not at all difficult to adjust a 
5250 application so that it makes the most of the built-in 
mouse support.
