here's the relevant entries for your .fvwm2rc
# ctrl + arrow, scroll by 1 page
Key Left A M Scroll -100 0
Key Right A M Scroll +100 +0
Key Up A M Scroll +0 -100
Key Down A M Scroll +0 +100
# alt + arrow key, scrolls by 1/10 of a page
Key Left A C Scroll -10 +0
Key Right A C Scroll +10 +0
tho as it has been pointed out, your problem is the keys, not the config
file; this will give you some idea how to change things in fvwm. :)
I personally really like FVWM. it's simple, extremely configurable, and
pretty reliable. I may use Enlightenment at home, or when I want to show off
to people; but I use FVWM when I want to actually get work done. :)
Carl.
