Anyone know the secret to (re)activating wheelmouse scrolling in WS 3.1.1 with Netscape 4.79?<snip>
I installed NS 4.79 from the commercial CD, and managed to get it running by:
1. edit /usr/bin/netscape script to point to the new NS 4.79 path
2. edit /etc/app-defaults and relink two symlinks (Netscape and netscape.cfg) to new NS 4.79 install directory.
However, there is no wheelmouse scrolling, which was available with the default NS 4.77.
I am familiar with this problem; it is easy to fix by adding a script to /home/(user)/.Xresources,
but there is no .Xresources in my WS 3.1.1 user directory. (Learned this from Libranet 1.9.1)
Oh yes, Netscape 7.0 has wheelmouse scrolling without any additional calisthenics required.

You're not the first one with that problem, as I experienced it too. Short answer was that it's buried within a netscape config file (according to a long ago newsgroup posting) which I still never got to work properly. I went back to 4.78 for a while then to 7.0 and never looked back.
