How do I enable scrolling of a group ?

[Alex Tweedly]

Thanks to you , and Scott R.

However, I guess I need to explain myself better .... :-)

If I have a field which
  - is enabled
  - has a formatted size that exceeds the actual size
  - has scroollbars enabled
THEN - the field will respond to the user scrolling (in this case by 
using two finger touch on the trackpad of a Macbook) and swiping / 
moving their fingers.

No script needed - it just responds the way a user would expect; it's 
the default behaviour /operation for a field.

I would *expect* that a group which meets similar criteria would respond 
similarly - i.e. without any scripting.

In the Message watcher, when positioned over a field, I see rawKeyDown, 
cRevGeneral and scrollbarDrag events
But when positioned over a group - only the rawKeyDown events fire.

So - am I just over-optimistic, and it is expected that any group 
scrolling is not handled by default ?

Or do I need to process rawKeyDowns (as for a mouse scroll wheel) and do 
my own scrolling ?

(Hmmm - just typing this message makes me convinced the answer is that I 
do my own scrolling in response to rawkeydowns. So thanks for letting me 
think out loud - but do correct me if I'm wrong :-)
