Has anybody heard of an ability to move the cursor to a different
location on a telnet screen by clicking in a specific area?  I'm using
VT100 emulation to connect to an application running solaris 10 and
need the ability to use the mouse.  The Kermit project supports this,
but we're having difficulty getting some standard scripting
capabilities working with it.

"telnet screen" isn't specific enough.  I suppose it's possible for a
client to detect a click and react by moving the cursor.  So this isn't
impossible.

But as far as I know, there's noting in a standard CLI telnet client
that will let you do this.

That seems odd.  I would think that anything using VT100 wouldn't assume
a mouse.
