horizontal and vertical scrolling

[Peter Brigham MD]

I'm a nerd and proud of it. My daughter once got me a button that read "I was cool before uncool was cool." (Actually, before all that I really was cool. But never to my daughter...)

That problem will be one of the knottiest the LC development team has had to tackle.
