Bug#348083: "behave mswin" does not work on console

[Bastian Venthur]

Package: vim
Version: 1:6.4-006+1
Severity: normal

With the line:

source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim

in your .vimrc the command "behave mswin" gets executed. And you should
be able to enter the visual mode by pressing SHIFT-ARROW (like in every
other modern editor).

But this does not work with vim under a console (neither KDE-Konsole nor
plain Linux console). But under gvim the selection works as expected.

I've googled around and did not find a reason (or hint) why ms-style
selection works with gvim but not with "plain" vim.
