[LINUX5250] TN5250 and mouse wheel

[Duane Kehoe <dkehoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    I am writing to again praise the glories of TN5250.  Today I finally
got my wheelmouse to use the wheel as a scrolling device in my
windowmanager KDE2.2.1(something I always wanted but could never get to
correctly work) just like in that other OS that most of the world uses
by default and I was greeted with a wonderful surprise.  While inside a
multipaged screen on an AS400 session(such as wrksplf or wrkactjob) I
nudged the wheel on accident and found that the scrolling is interperted
as pageup/pagedown to the emulator and the view is changed accordingly.
 While this is not an intended feature, it really only works due to
xterm's support of the wheel, I think it is an exciting one, even CA
does not do scrolling through pages with the wheel.  We finally have one
up on those Win/CA users :-P .
    While none of you may care about this I just thought I would share
it please don't flame me, thanks
