I know I can use -middlebutton and uncheck it, but I can't find a way of doing this either by a command line option or by an entry in .Xdefaults. aixterm -keywords didn't seem to give a sensible option, nor did the info explorer aixterm entry. I tried putting aixterm*autowrap: false in .Xdefaults as a guess, but it didn't seem to do anything. There seems to be a reverse wrap option, but that's a different thing altogether. The reason I ask is that editing wide files in vi is next to impossible if the lines wrap round.
