Good guess.  Perhaps the idea is not as well known as I imagined, so
maybe it's worth mentioning

In particular the bit of Elisp supplied by Sylvia Knight which I quite
liked without any modification:

      (defun up-slightly () (interactive) (scroll-up 5))
      (defun down-slightly () (interactive) (scroll-down 5))
      (global-set-key [mouse-4] 'down-slightly)
      (global-set-key [mouse-5] 'up-slightly)
      
      (defun up-one () (interactive) (scroll-up 1))
      (defun down-one () (interactive) (scroll-down 1))
      (global-set-key [S-mouse-4] 'down-one)
      (global-set-key [S-mouse-5] 'up-one)
      
      (defun up-a-lot () (interactive) (scroll-up))
      (defun down-a-lot () (interactive) (scroll-down))
      (global-set-key [C-mouse-4] 'down-a-lot)
      (global-set-key [C-mouse-5] 'up-a-lot)
      
Very useful.  Thanks Sylvia.

After a keyboard, a scrolling mouse is just about the best addition to
a computer.
