never ending scroll?

Depend. I was joking.

There is a "rotate" concept that takes "abcd" and makes "bcda" and then 
"cdab". When I say easy, I mean straightforward. Implementing in reality means 
all sorts of fun and frustrating machinations to get it just the way you 
want. But you seem to get that.

But it should be, er, easy to display rotated data at a certain rate in the 
field. Just apprehend as needed.

Probably best implemented as a function:

on mouseStillDown
   put rotate(fld "yourField") into fld "yourField"
   wait a few ticks
end mouseStillDown

function rotate var
   put return & line 1 of var after var
   delete line 1 of var
   return var
end repeat

You need to do this backwards, as well, of course. 

This is not tested at all. There is no way I will be the first to send you 
a complete working script, as I am away from my computer, and you know what 
kind of people monitor this list. Just wait an hour or so. But you really 
should write this gadget yourself.
