According to the man page, it's a compile time option.

It's turned on in the package "Makefile". The usual policy is turn
everything on, in order to please most of the people, most of the
time. In this case "--enable-xterm-scroll" actually turns something
off. Who knew?

By the way, this is not m68k specific. The package builds the same way
on all ports. Package problems/questions are usually not specific to a
particular port, and even if they are, it's a problem for the package
system to solve, and not a problem for mac68k!

I think you could make a reasonable case for the change on tech-pkg.
After all, if people like the xterm style, they can just use "xterm".

In the meantime, I'd be happy to send you a modified package. Please
respond privately.
