Scrolling past the last line

[Jerry Jensen]

I have lots of scripts that want to just scroll to the bottom of a field, like to see the last thing that happened in a history. I have used "set the scroll of fld xyz to 32000" for years and it would be a pain to change.

Better, I think, to just add blank lines to your field to make the empty space that you need.

Specifically the script editor, but I can think of other situations where it might be desirable. I tried to set the scroll of a scrolling field to more than it's current maximum, but it won't budge beyond that point.
