aixterm scroll?

on a AIX sys i have 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\
None<Btn5Down>: scroll(5,line)
