Way to split stack vertically with scrollbars?

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Assuming you don't necessarily need a lot of bells and whistle in the 
top scrolling part, and, assuming a horizontal view of an image gallery 
is all you need, you can possibly incorporate a scrolling field at the 
top. with only one line of characters, and you set the image data of 
each of the characters to the image that you want.

I use this daily ( in a substack)  for previewing and re-ordering 
images that appear below on a one per card basis. the "Preview" button, 
set the images source of char#x in the preview field to the image 1 of 
card x in the mainstack. The user can reorder the images in the 
horizontal field by simply cutting and pasting them around on the same 
"line" as it were... then when the preview closes, the main stack is 
reordered accordingly.
Don't know if this helps much, but i tried groups and it was crazy... 
and this worked. If you want i can send the stack off list.
