You cannot drag the scroollbar, but you can scroll the text inside the
window, providing that the text's length is larger than the window's
length, depending on your settings:
1 - inside the window, using the shift-top arrow, shift-bottom arrow
2 - clicking on the gray portion of the scrollbar with the third mouse
button (middle one) and then moving the mouse up and down. It scrolls
at your will.
3 - clicking on the non gray portion of the scrollbar with the second
mouse button (right one). It scrolls up of a certain amount of lines
4 - clicking on the non gray portion of the scrollbar with the first
mouse button (left one). It scrolls down of a certain amount of lines
If you want the scrollbar on the right side, just add this after
xterm*scrollBar: true in your .XResources file:
xterm*rightScrollBar: true
