-1. Extended COSE conformance

+We have mouse support under xterm now, implemented and documented.  The
+next step is to add code to lib_getch.c that can detect Alessandro Rubini's
+GPM server and use it to implement the same interface.

+2. Extended COSE conformance
 
 There is an XPG4 standard recently released which describes a superset
 of the SVr4 API.  The library is BASE conformant with this standard.

-2. DOS port
+3. DOS port
 
 Only 16 of the 55 files in the library depend on the terminfo format.
 It should be possible to further kernelize the package, then rewrite 
 a small number of core files to produce a functionally-compatible
 port that would do updates to a memory-mapped screen area.  The first
 result of this would be a DOS port.
 
-3. X port
+4. X port
 
 It would be nice if ncurses could recognize when it was running under X and
 maintain its own window.  With this feature, all ncurses programs would
 automatically become X programs.
