marcus,
The problem is right in your .Xresources file.
The Page_Up key is setup to call the scroll-back() function. that function
is internal to xterm.
You need the Page_Up key to send a string instead.
Same for Page_Down.
Here is a portion of my .Xdefaults file:
xterm.vt100.translations: #override\n\
Alt<Key>B: set-vt-font(6)\n\
Alt<Key>S: set-vt-font(d)\n\
<Key>Print: printscreen()\n\
Shift<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>:scroll-back(1,line)\n\
Shift<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>:scroll-forw(1,line)\n\
<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>:scroll-back(1,halfpage)\n\
<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>:scroll-forw(1,halfpage)\n\
<Key>F1: string(0x1b) string("[17~") \n\
<Key>F2: string(0x1b) string("[18~") \n\
<Key>F3: string(0x1b) string("[19~") \n\
<Key>F4: string(0x1b) string("[20~") \n\
<Key>F5: string(0x1b) string("[21~") \n\
<Key>F6: string(0x1b) string("[23~") \n\
<Key>F7: string(0x1b) string("[24~") \n\
<Key>F8: string(0x1b) string("[25~") \n\
<Key>F9: string(0x1b) string("[26~") \n\
<Key>F10: string(0x1b) string("[29~") \n\
<Key>F11: string(0x1b) string("[29~") \n\
<Key>F12: string(0x1b) string("[20~") \n\
<Key>Home: string(0x1b) string("[H") \n\
<Key>End: string(0x1b) string("_1") string(0x1b) string(0x5c) \n\
<Key>Page_Up: string(0x1b) string("[S") \n\
<Key>Page_Down: string(0x1b) string("[T") \n\
Shift<Key>Tab: string(0x1b) string("[Z") \n\
<Key>Insert: string(0x1b) string("[@") \n\
<Key>Delete: string(0x1b) string("[P")
There is some stuff in there for using a wheel mouse to scroll the xterm
screen.
The Page_Up and Page_Down keys will send character sequences to the
application
which should then interpret the sequences and do the right thing.

I'm also using Alt-B and Alt-S to make the xterm window Bigger or Smaller.
Hope that helps,
