Netscape 4.77 doesn't seem to support scroll wheels, at
least not easily. (Oddly, when I first started using linux I
used Corel Linux and I was able to get the scroll wheel to
work for about 5 minutes at the beginning of a Netscape
session before it cut out on me. I have no idea why and no
idea what I did to get it working at all, other than maybe
shear luck) However, Netscape is fairly customizable
and there is a way around it. I've snipped the relevant
section from my .Xdefaults file in my home directory. There
is a lot more than what I've appended, including entries to
disable blinking text and to replace the search button with
a google link, etc.
