Hey Rob,

I'd be happy to (try to) help!

The latest NetRunner is beta 19 which uses either XTERM(?) or maybe VT200(?)
mouse support. I used whatever the default was in PUTTY at the time so that
it'd be compatible with Mystic "out of the box".

I used to have a bookmark that had a reference but I can't seem to find it at
the moment.  I read through my code and I did have some source code notes
that I can pass along, and a chunk of code from PUTTY that can be used as a
reference to its various mouse modes.

(Some observations that I just made by looking at my code:)

(It looks like the X/Y coordinates are just the ascii character corresponding
to the X/Y coordinate with with +32 added to it to avoid conflict with low
ascii control characters. So coordinates 1, 1 would be represented as
Ascii#33;Ascii#33. This means its limited to a terminal size of 223x223 though
which is something I overlooked at the time.  It also looks like Mystic sends
esc[?1000h to the Unix terminal when running in Unix to enable mouse reporting,
so that seems like a clue we can Google to find out officially what it is.
NetRunner also translates a wheel spin to either the up or down arrow ANSI
escape sequence for max usefulness with non-mouse-aware BBSes)

Notes:

(*  PUTTY
  ESC[Ma;b;c
  // low two bits of "a" encode button: 0=MB1 pressed, 1=2 pressed, 2=3
  // pressed, 3=release

  // b,c are x and y coordinates of cursor
