Hmmmm - - - that sounds like it could work.   The only tricky part is that 
the user will be adding/subtracting a lot ot graphic bitmaps and positioning 
them within that top scrolling
area, so I'll have a lot of "add to group" logic to keep track of.   I was 
hoping I could just create
new bitmaps and plop them on the card in the right spot and not worry about 
groups and positioning things within groups.   However, if I absolutely must 
use groups, I can do that.

So is it not technically possible to have a card that is 2000 pixels wide 
shown in a stack that is only 800 pixels wide, and have horizontal scrollbars?
