Drew,

Aaron is working with GNU Emacs in non-windows "mode" inside an xterm 
(variant). The latter is an X client, it exists in a windowing system and it 
receives key or mouse events. But the things running inside the xterm (iTerm2) 
terminal emulation can only receive text input, for example ANSI Esc sequences 
(or codes). It looks as if these codes are produced by the given "mouse events":

        ESC [ M a F Z   = <mouse-4> = scroll-up
        ESC [ M ` u X   = <mouse-5> = scroll-down
        
        ESC [ M e / Q   = S-<mouse-4> = <mouse-8>
        ESC [ M d 5 S   = S-<mouse-5> = <mouse-9>
        
        ESC [ M q - S   = C-<mouse-4> = <mouse-20>
        ESC [ M p 2 T   = C-<mouse-5> = <mouse-21>

Having set in my init file

          (global-set-key [mouse-4]     (lambda () (interactive) (mwheel-scroll 
mouse-wheel-up-event)))
          (global-set-key [mouse-5]     (lambda () (interactive) (mwheel-scroll 
mouse-wheel-down-event)))

scrolling feels quite OK in xterm and y bit too fast in uxterm... Not as smooth 
as with a windowing Emacs.
