How to hide scroll if field does not require it

[Mark Schonewille]

Sivakatirswami,

Do you mean that you would like fields to do this automatically? The  
following works for a simple editable field:

on rawKeyUp
      set the vScrollbar of me to (the formattedHeight of me > the  
height of me)
      pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp

It is easy to add a similar feature to your own script. What is your  
own solution?
