Nedit is Motif based (linked against Lesstif).

Adding the following to ~/.nedit file is supposed to do the trick, but
doesn't for me:

!# NEdit
NEdit*text.Translations: #override\n\
        Shift<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>: scroll_up(5)\n\
        Shift<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>: scroll_down(5)\n\
        Ctrl<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>: previous_page()\n\
        Ctrl<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>: next_page(1)\n\
        <Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>: scroll_up(1)\n\
        <Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>: scroll_down(1)\n

Interesting... I added the above to ~/.Xdefaults and loaded those resources
and it works as advertised.

I wonder what I'm doing wrong in ~/.nedit.

Rob> And I still haven't figured out how to make Nedit scroll.

if it's x-based and uses a sane toolkit, it should just DTRT.

if it's x-based and doesn't use a sane toolkit, you have to find out
how to bind Button4Down and Button5Down events to
scroll-up/scroll-down.
