[TriLUG] xterm scrollback won't stick

When I "tail -f /var/log/messages" on an xterm, and I scrollback to look at
something, the display jumps back to the most recent output whenever
something new gets sent to the xterm.
In the past I used konsole (the KDE terminal emulator) and scrolling back was
"sticky" - when you scrolled back to something, the display stayed there
regardless of new stuff coming out.
I read "man xterm" and could find a commandline option for controlling this
behavior. Can anybody give me hint here? Is it possible the behavior is a
feature of konsole but not xterm?
TIA,

Make clockwise circles with your right foot.
Now use your right hand to draw the number "6" in the air.
