aixterm vs cterm: HELP

been trying to get the mouse scroll wheel to page the terminal for about 2 yrs now on aixterm. any ideas. the below syntax does not work in aixterm but does work in xterm.

------------------------- this does not work in aixterm but does work in xterm,, with a cat Xdefult | sed 's/aixterm/xterm/g'

! Note (7/26/06): These commands below do not succeed in enabling the mouse wheel
! scrolling for Aixterm windows, but they at least get rid of the annoying string
! of beeps that was happening when ever you turned the wheel. RDJ
!
!# Scrolling on wheel mouse: half a page normally, line per line with shift
aixterm*translations: #override\n\
Shift<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>:scroll-back(1,line)\n\
Shift<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>:scroll-forw(1,line)\n\
Ctrl<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>:scroll-back(1,page)\n\
Ctrl<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>:scroll-forw(1,page)\n\
<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>:scroll-back(1,halfpage)\n\
<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>:scroll-forw(1,halfpage)\n\

!# In the scrollbar we map buttons 5 & 4 to 1 and 2 otherwise, core dump
!# This will move proportionnaly to cursor position but we dont know how to
!# program the same exact behavior as in the text widget.
aixterm*Scrollbar.translations: #override\n\
<Btn5Down>: StartScroll(Forward)\n\
<Btn4Down>: StartScroll(Backward)\n\

aixterm*Scrollbar.translations: #override\n\
Shift<Btn4Down>: scroll(-1,page) \n\
Shift<Btn5Down>: scroll(1,page) \n\
None<Btn4Down>: scroll(-5,line) \n\

vte

vte(1)								   User Commands							    vte(1)

NAME

       vte - virtual terminal emulator

SYNOPSIS

       vte [-2] [-A] [-a] [-B image] [-b] [-C] [-c command] [-D] [-d] [-f font] [-g] [-h] [-i] [-k] [-n] [-r] [-S] [-s] [-T] [-t terminal-type]

DESCRIPTION

       vte is simply a window wrapped around the vte embeddable terminal emulation control, which does most of the work for gnome-terminal. vte is
       used mainly to test the control. Most users do not need to use vte directly, but use gnome-terminal instead.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -2	       Toggle double buffering. Enabled by default.

       -A	       Toggle antialiasing.  The default is that of the current GTK+ default.

       -a	       Toggle audible bell on/off. If audible bell is enabled, visible bell is disabled. If audible bell is disabled, visible bell
		       is enabled. Audible bell enabled by default.

       -B image        Use image as background.

       -b	       Toggle cursor blinking. Enabled by default.

       -C	       Open a "console" connection.

       -c command      Fork the specified command.

       -D	       Use dingus clicking: as the cursor moves over text matching a certain pattern, the matched text is highlighted and the cur-
		       sor changes shape. Disabled by default.

       -d	       Toggle update debugging. Disabled by default.

       -f font	       Specify the font to use. Default font is "Sans 12".

       -g	       Toggle whether to set geometry hints if font is changed. Enabled by default.

       -h	       Toggle highlighting.  Disabled by default.

       -i	       Toggle whether to obey attempts to set the icon name, if applications running in the terminal request this.

       -k	       Toggle whether to keep program running after GTK main loop. Disabled by default.

       -n	       Specify the number of scrollback lines. Minumum number of scrollback lines is 100. Default number of  scrollback  lines	is
		       100.

       -r	       Toggle whether to set cursor color to pale red. Disabled by default.

       -S	       Toggle launching a shell. Enabled by default.

       -s	       Toggle  whether	to  scroll  background image along with text. This option is only useful when combined with the -B option.
		       Disabled by default.

       -T	       Use transparent background. Overrides the -B option.

       -t terminal-typeSpecify the terminal type to emulate.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       vte is designed to emulate the xterm program provided by the X Consortium. In turn, xterm is an almost complete emulation of the DEC  VT102
       terminal. vte supports the same extensions to VT102 as those provided by xterm, through special escape sequences.

       xterm is an evolving program. Recent changes to xterm have been been incorporated into vte.  This includes emulation of the newer DEC VT220
       escape sequences.
