Scroll Bar Problem

[Bojsza]

I have 10 lines being continually placed "into" a field every second.

When I use the horizontal scroll bar it does not stay in the position I 
set it to...on every update it starts back in its default state (to the 
far left).

Is there a way I can have it stay where ever I place it while the field 
is being updated?

Also, is there a quick way to sum the second word for the field?

thanks,

Glen
