Scroll Line Into View in a Datagrid

[Ray]

Pete - I wanted to get back with you since you were so kind to respond 
and shed some light on things.

I've discovered [once again] that Livecode data grids are really 
complicated, convoluted things.  I had set the behavior of the grid in 
question to a button whose script  was a slightly altered version of the 
default button.  This in turn broke the ability to scroll, either from a 
script or manually.  Why?  Who knows?

I'm rebuilding the grid now from scratch and I'll come up with a 
work-around other than setting the grid's behavior.

Thanks for your help!
