   I think this should just say Linux console although I don't really
   understand where the kernel ends and the operating system begins.

Neither do I, but Richard asked me to refer to it as "GNU/Linux console".

   This seems to be true for mouse-1 but:

   C-mouse-1 gives me the Main Options menu
   C-mouse-2 gives me the VT Options menu
   C-mouse-3 gives me the VT Fonts menu

   S-C-mouse-1, S-C-mouse-2, S-C-mouse-3 give me nothing.

I believe that the following patches should finally get it right:

  Some terminal emulators under X support mouse clicks in the terminal
  window.  In a terminal emulator which is compatible with @code{xterm},
  you can use @kbd{M-x xterm-mouse-mode} to enable simple use of the
! mouse---only single clicks are supported.  The normal @code{xterm} mouse
! functionality is still available by holding down the @kbd{SHIFT} key
! when you press the mouse button.
