Slider values

[Michael J. Lew]

Well done Brian. Yes, setting the (invisible) lineIncrement property 
to zero fixes the numbers.

I didn't notice that the little ticks were wrong. I don't know how to fix them.

Your initial comments regarding a new user are exactly my sentiments.

There are a couple of bugs in scrollbar objects in addition to such 
unexpected behaviour. I would like to see them cleaned up 
substantially at some stage. They are awkward to use in any 
quantitative way because their lineInc, pageInc and numberFormat 
properties are all interlinked.

>>  Make a slider control that starts at 0 and increments by exactly 10
