Do you mean you don't want any kind of scroller at all, or do you want a 
field with an iOS scroller but no native field scrollbars? In other 
words, do you need to emulate the iOS look and feel?

For no scrollbar/scroller at all, try using Colin's script but with the 
touch events instead of the mouse events. I'm not sure mouseStillDown is 
the best way to scroll, but start with that. Ideally you'd use a "send" 
structure.

If you want a native iOS scroller, that's different, it's overlaid on 
top of the field. You catch the messages it sends and respond to them by 
changing the field's vScroll property.

If you can give a little more info about what you need, we can help.
