Mouse click enhancements to the Remote Connection Emulator bundled with IDz

Many modern 3270 emulators respond to mouse clicks when working with ISPF menus and screens.  For example, we use the SWAPBAR when switching between multiple ISPF screens.  To move between one screen and the next all we have to do is a single mouse click on the ISPF screen name in the SWAPBAR.  Similarly, when navigating ISPF menus, all we have to do is a single click on the ISPF menu item to go into that screen.  Currently with the RCE we need to position the cursor on the menu item or SWAPBAR screen name and then hit the enter key on our keyboard.  Our company uses the TPX 3270 emulator and these actions are performed with a single mouse click.
