I'm not sure I understand that comment. Anyhow...
Launching 'xterm -sb' gives you a scrollbar. 'man xterm' explains several
other scrollbar-related options.
If what you want is the ability to scroll from the keyboard, put this
somewhere in your .Xresources:
*VT100.translations: #override\
Ctrl <KeyPress> Prior : scroll-back(1,halfpage)\n\
Ctrl <KeyPress> Next : scroll-forw(1,halfpage)\n\
Ctrl <KeyPress> Up : scroll-back(1,line)\n\
Ctrl <KeyPress> Down : scroll-forw(1,line)
Make sure it's loaded when you start X11 (from an xterm run
xrdb -q | grep VT100
and check it prints out the above; if not you might have to add
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources
to your .xinitrc file). This will give you single-line up/down
scrolling via Ctrl+ArrowKey in xterm and half-page up/down scrolling
via Ctrl+Fn+Arrow (regardless of which WM you're running).
Sorry if I completely misunderstood what you're after.
Ian
