Very Computer

howdy folks.  here's a section from the SGI xwsh man page.  this is a
really helpful feature at times and i'm wondering if anyone has ever
seen this sort of thing for an xterm.  i can't figure out how to get
an xterm to do this:

- -------
     If during the process of making a selection the pointer moves vertically
     out of the text area then the text area will be automatically scrolled to
     allow selections that are larger than the visible area.
- -------

any tips?

thanks,
