Put 

    (mwheel-install)
    (setq mwheel-scroll-amount (quote (1 . 5)))

in your ~/.emacs (or ~/.xemacs/init.el, if you are using this instead
of ~/.emacs).

Doc-string of `mwheel-scroll-amount':

`mwheel-scroll-amount' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "mwheel"

Value: (1 . 5)

Documentation:
Amount to scroll windows by when spinning the mouse wheel.
This is actually a cons cell, where the first item is the amount to scroll
on a normal wheel event, and the second is the amount to scroll when the
wheel is moved with the shift key depressed.

Each item should be the number of lines to scroll, or `nil' for near
full screen.
A near full screen is `next-screen-context-lines' less than a full screen.
