There are some things you might want to do in making that group: hide  
the borders of field, and make them not editable, and no scroll bars.  
Set their heights to all be as tall as the tallest one. Then group  
them, and set the border visible on the group, as well as the vertical  
scrollbar. Lastly, reduce the height of the group to the visible area  
that you want to see the text.

If the fields were still editable, you can get into situations where  
the user has clicked, and dragged down , in one of the field's text,  
which will put it out of sync with the other fields.
