=============
Me too. This is essentially correct. Scrollbar commands are designed to 
work with scrollbars assigned to groups, etc.

I have some demos. If you'd like to see them, they're kinda rough, one 
is an unfinished project (which is why I didn't post them to the RR 
site), but get the point across, let me know offlist and I'll send 
them.
