Or just "scroll" for short. There is also hScroll to move the group 
horizontally. I would trap key events and set the scroll of the group by 
a few pixels in the right direction on each keypress.

It isn't easy. I know you can only set a bordercolor using a color that 
is already in the image's palette. And the border must not be 3D, and 
the image must be opaque. But I just tried it and it doesn't work. Maybe 
someone else knows.

I think I got around this in the past by displaying the image as an icon 
in a square button and setting the border color of the button instead.
