Cygwin/Xterm scroll while selecting text

[Doug Bohl]

Yeah, Thomas is right.  I personally don't like the scrollbars, I just
use the scrollwheel on my mouse to scroll up and down text in xterm. 
So my method for selecting a large amount of text is:

- scroll to location of beginning text
- right click once on exactly where i want to begin selection
- scroll down with scrollwheel until end text is reached
- right click again exactly where i want to end selection

Of course, in conjunction with right-clicking, you could alternatively
use the scrollbar ;-)
