Scroll bars aren't automatically provided for you. There are good reasons for this. To
get a scroll bar to scroll a field, you need to add a scroll bar to the form, position
it appropriately, and add code to tie the field and scroll bar together. Use the
tutorial or look at Memo Pad to see how it's done. When you get it all working, you
can drag in the field and it'll update the scroll bar, you can drag the scroll car and
it'll scroll the field, and you can press the hardware scroll buttons and it'll scroll
the field and update the scroll bar.
