I don't know what that means.  You want to tweak how it tells where a
word ends when you click to select word/line/para ?  So e.g. whether
"frobozz.quux" is one word or two?

Is this what you want?

       -sb This option indicates that some number of lines that are
               scrolled off the top of the window should be saved and
               that a scrollbar should be displayed so that those lines
               can be viewed.  This option may be turned on and off from
               the “VT Options” menu.

xterm's scrollbar is the traditional style -- mouse1 to go up, mouse3 to
go down, mouse2 (middle) to go to the point clicked.  If you can deal
with widget behaviour that predates NOTEPAD.EXE, I don't see a problem.

urxvt (rxvt-unicode) and xterm are consistently popular.  I can
definitely recommend the former.

For urxvt, I used

    ! Bind C-0, C-+ and C-= to activate medium, big and small font size 
respectively.
    URxvt.font:                            xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-7
    URxvt.keysym.C-minus: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-7\007
    URxvt.keysym.C-0:     command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans Mono\007
    URxvt.keysym.C-equal: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-19\007

That's not arbitrary sizes, but "big, normal, tiny" was good enough for
my needs.  (Nowadays, I use setupcon for the same effect.)

xterm has it on shift + KP_Plus / KP_minus by default, IIRC, which can
be painful on a laptop keyboard.  Also if you specify a size,
e.g. "xterm -fa Monospace-8" instead of "xterm -fa Monospace", it breaks
the resizing.
