For consistency with other applications and past behaviour. In dtterm, traditional Solaris xterm, gnome-terminal in gnome 1.x, gnome-terminal in Solaris 10, emacs, firefox, and a host of other applications, these keys move the scrollbar. And many people are used to this behaviour. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
