"Rolling Credits" - Stop them and start them again

[Alan Gayne]

Oops!  Sorry my last post was absent a subject line.

ALSO, I have now noted that I CAN get the scrolling to start with a 
click in the text field, but it takes the SECOND click in the field to 
get things going.

So my question now is how to get the process working with the FIRST 
click in the text field.

Thanks and regards,
Alan
