[implementations-list] vimpulse - visual select with emacs -nw

I just discovered vimpulse and was very happy to find it! Thank you. One oddity: Visual selecting (with v or Ctrl-v) doesn't seem to work when I run emacs in a terminal with 'emacs -nw'. For example, in normal mode I can hit vllld and nothing will be deleted. Visual selecting works fine when I run emacs in its own window. Why would this be? Is there any way to get vimpulse working fully in terminal mode emacs? I don't subscribe to this list, so please cc me in replies. John
