That is exactly what I use it for also. I'll have a log field where the 
data is display chronologically and as I add stuff to it, I set the 
scroll so that the new stuff is visible and the old stuff scrolls off 
the top of the screen.

do a search in the runrev docs for vscroll

should show you the functionality you need. And if you also want 
horizontal scroll, look at hscroll
