Can the mouse wheel scroll in Exceed yet?

Hi,
I would like to be able to scroll certain X-windows apps (like emacs, rxvt
or xterm) in Exceed using the scroll wheel. Yes, I'm yet another
spoiled-by-Linux user who's forced to use Exceed on Windows NT at work
instead of Linux. I know this feature is not available in Exceed 6.1,
which is what I'm using, but I see that versions 6.2 and 7.0 are out. Does
the latest version of Exceed allow the scroll wheel to send button-4 and 5
events to X clients? Or better yet, could it be programed to send key
sequences or anything else we want in a client-specific way?
I just stumbled across a post from last March which explains how to set
this up to issue specific key sequences:
http://www.hummingbird.com/exceedusers/Mar2000/0117.html
I tried this out, and couldn't get it to work. Does it require a newer
version of Exceed? I tried using the string sequence (for WheelUpSequence)
"P2a 148 148 148 R2a" This should have been three shift-up commands, and
looks okay to me (shift, up, up, up, unshift). After re-starting Exceed,
nothing happens with the wheel, just as before. I certainly could have
mis-typed something, but my first guess is that my version of Exceed is too
old.
So, I guess I have two questions: What version of Exceed do I need to get
this described functionality? And are there any plans to allow the mouse
wheel to behave the way it does under XFree86, sending button-4 and 5
events?
Thanks,

p.s. I was hoping that shift-up and shift-down key sequences would work,
because I could get both rxvt and emacs to handle those. I think rxvt
handles that by default, and to get emacs to use these keys, I added this
to my .emacs file:
(global-set-key [S-up] '(lambda (&rest args) (interactive) (scroll-down
2)))
(global-set-key [S-down] '(lambda (&rest args) (interactive) (scroll-up
2)))
I don't know if Xterm can be made to work this way or not.
