mouse in midnight commander (mc); alternate screen

Dear list,


I would like to use the mouse in the midnight commander running
in xterm in X11. However, mouse does not seem to do anything
other than in the xterm terminal itself.

I did not find any clue in the man page.
I tried running like
mc -x
mc -g
but to no avail.

Furthermore, I would also like to use ctrl-o to
get to the alternate screen (or subshell). At the
moment, ctrl-o hides the panels but does not give
the prompt.

Can anybody help, please?
I run 7.6 GENERIC.MP#338 amd64.


Thank you.

Ruda
