Yeah, Thomas is right. I personally don't like the scrollbars, I just
use the scrollwheel on my mouse to scroll up and down text in xterm.
So my method for selecting a large amount of text is:
- scroll to location of beginning text
- right click once on exactly where i want to begin selection
- scroll down with scrollwheel until end text is reached
- right click again exactly where i want to end selection
Of course, in conjunction with right-clicking, you could alternatively
use the scrollbar ;-)

Hello
All:
I am sorry if this is a repeat question - I've searched for a while and
haven't found anthing.
is there a way to get xterm to scroll up or down while selecting text, when
the cursor hits the top/bottom of the window? Currently I am limited to one
screen at a time, which is painful if I want to select a lot of data.
I am using cygwin 1.5.19-4, x11-base 6.8.2.0-1, xterm 202-1 on Win XP Pro.
Thanks for any help.
Bill
