Your script works as well -- thanks Trevor.

I think my problem was over-interpreting the docs and coming up with some
crazy proportional math that wasn't necessary.  The following two lines work
like above:

set endValue of sb "scroller" to (formattedHeight of grp "master")
set thumbSize of sb "scroller" to (height of grp "master")
