I'd be tempted to try letting the engine do it and use only a single 
field. Just turn off the scrollbars (make the field a regular 
non-scrolling field.) You can still set the scroll of the field whether 
the scrollbars are there or not. On each "page turn" the script could

set the scroll of fld 1 to (the effective textheight of fld 1 )* 12 + 
the scroll of fld 1

If fixedLineHeight is true you will already know the number of lines 
displayed. In my example, there are 12 visible lines (including wrap.)
