I think, I said what I want: that with Mode_switch+Shift+Up/Down it does
scrolling in xterm as it does in uRxvt.

I followed your hints an tried configurations in the file
~/.Xdefaults-hostname:

*VT100.translations: #override \
	Shift<Key>Up:		scroll-back(1,page) \n\
	Shift<Key>Down:		scroll-forw(1,page) \n\
	Shift<Key>F9: string("hola")

(the last line for F9 is only to see if the file works at all).

With the above config it now scrolls in xterm with Shift-Up/Down. But
I'm unable to configure that it scrolls with Mode_switch+Shift+Up/Down
and I want to have this to use the same key sequence in xterm and uRxvt
and not always have to think where I am.

Any idea? Thanks
