I know that Xterm supports vertical scolling as it had for
many years, but does it support horizontal scrolling?

To clarify, vertical scolling is | and horizontal scrolling is: <-->
v
Seems to me I coulda sworn that xterm did support horizontal
scrolling but alas - I cannot prove it! I must be getting old, really,
really old. :D
I was working with cygwin on w2kPro (yeah, yeah, I know this is a
Fedora site), and I liked that I could open the Cygwin command window
that supports H & V scrolling, setting xterm to nowrap, stty columns to 810,
and exec a tail -f on an ansi colorized log file that has a very long line
width of just over 800 characters per line) and I was able to use the URL
line such as:
1) tail -f "\\\\winHost\\d$\\Program File\\Exchsrvr\\EventSink\\Log\\aTracker.log"
The above scenario works well.
But I was shite-out-of-luck trying to get the same log monitoring capability
using Cygwin's windowmaker session in win2kPro since xterm does not
seem to support H-scroll but can access the URL log file, but with Fedora,
I have two problems: H-Scroll does work nor can I tail an SMB file such as:
2) tail -f smb://winHost/D%24/Program%20File/Exchsrvr/EventSink/Log/aTracker.log
I also tried the URL in (1) above and nope that did not work either.
Any suggestions?
