System name:		euphrosyne
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.3M (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	edit a file with control characters/high bit chars.

What's wrong:
	When I click the left mouse button on a character on the same
line and to the right of a high-bit char, the cursor is placed too far
to the right.

What should have happened:
	It should be placed right under the mouse cursor

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Here's an example line.  Unless the mailer clears the high bit,
there should be a \220 in the middle.
