Scrollbars aren't automatic. All the HASSCROLLBAR attribute of a field does
is cause the field to generate fldUpdateEvents more often than it otherwise
would (at all times when an associated scrollbar would need to be updated).
See pages 122-124 of Palm Programming: the Developer's Guide for code to
handle a scrollbar connected to a field.
