Yes, and while I'm pressing down btn 2 and drag the pointer up and down
the window scrolls as long as I'm in the scrollbar area. But if I by
accident move the pointer into the text area the scrolling function
stop and the text window begins to interpret the mouse event! Test this
for example in Netscape with a scrollable window. You can move the
mouse pointer outside Netscape and still scroll the window and that is
the effect I want in xterm, nxterm too. I had it in CDE and want it in
AfterStep. Obviously you have achieved this so I wonder how?
