Sorry....I at least have been ignoring all my e-mail recently, so rest assured that it's nothing personal. The short answer is that you use a scrollbar....look in the Palm OS 3.5 or higher API Reference, and you will see under User Interface a section called Scrollbars. You don't get anything for free except events thrown when someone manipulates the scrollbar, but those events should be enough to let you scroll your page on your own. There is lots more in the archive, search for "Scl".
