This has been discussed (ad nauseum) on this list in the past, but you
really already discovered the key issue in the diagram you posted to
the list: if you want to have a menubar and toolbar and status bar in
the window along with the scrollable area, the
HyperCard/SuperCard/ToolBook design of making the whole window scroll
is essentially useless. Only the MetaCard way of having independent
scrolling groups does what you need, even though it's a little more
difficult to set up.
