If you have animationEngine you can use the undocumented property  
"animate selections". If set to true then the Data Grid uses  
aeEaseInOUt from the animationEngine library to scroll record  
selection into view. I haven't tested it when adding records but use  
it with Data Grid forms that are tall. It helps maintain context when  
scrolling.

set the dgProps["animate selections"] of group "DataGrid" to true
