Once a class of mouse events have been made visible in a window,
calling the \fBwgetch\fR function on that window may return
\fBKEY_MOUSE\fR as an indicator that a mouse event has been queued.
To read the event data and pop the event off the queue, call
-\fBgetmouse\fR. This function will return \fBOK\fR if a mouse event
+\fBgetmouse\fR.
+This function will return \fBOK\fR if a mouse event
is actually visible in the given window, \fBERR\fR otherwise.
When \fBgetmouse\fR returns \fBOK\fR, the data deposited as y and
x in the event structure coordinates will be screen-relative character-cell
-coordinates. The returned state mask will have exactly one bit set to

+The \fBwmouse_trafo\fR function transforms a given pair of coordinates
+from stdscr-relative coordinates
+to coordinates relative to the given window or vice versa.
Please remember, that stdscr-relative coordinates are not always identical
-to screen-relative coordinates due to the mechanism to reserve lines on top
-or bottom of the screen for other purposes (ripoff() call, see also slk_...
-functions). If the parameter \fBto_screen\fR is \fBTRUE\fR, the pointers
-\fBpY, pX\fR must reference the coordinates of a location inside the window
-\fBwin\fR. They are converted to screen-relative coordinates and returned
-through the pointers. If the conversion was successful, the function
-returns \fBTRUE\fR. If one of the parameters was NULL or the location is
-not inside the window, \fBFALSE\fR is returned. If \fBto_screen\fR is
-\fBFALSE\fR, the pointers \fBpY, pX\fR must reference screen-relative
-coordinates. They are converted to stdscr-relative coordinates if the
-window \fBwin\fR encloses this point. In this case the function returns

+.PP
Mouse events under xterm will not be detected correctly in a window with
its keypad bit off, since they are interpreted as a variety of function key.

+Other values for \fBkmous\fR are permitted,

Because there are no standard terminal responses that would serve to identify
terminals which support the xterm mouse protocol, \fBncurses\fR assumes that
