Thanks to those that responded to my scrolling question. Now I
have another one (I just cant seem to follow the nuances of Inside Mac!)

I want to create a pseudo programming-language editor.
The language looks something like this:
{proc a :
	stuff....
	{proc b:
		stuff....
	}
	stuff...
}

Now I read in text files in this form..... but when the main window appears
I only want to show this much:

{proc a :}

I need to hide the rest of the data until later (the user wants to view it)
So the question is....... If I set up another TErec for the other data,
how do I hide it? I have an idea that I could set both the destination rect
and the view rect to values off the screen and then they wont be shown. I could
then copy data from that TErec to the one on the main window. Is this possible?
Am I crazy? (at least about this idea!)

Also if this is possible, then what would happen if I changed the destination
and view rectangles to values within the screen. Would the text appear? Can you
change those values?  

There... thats it I think... pretty messed up aren't I? 8-)
Well If any body understands what I mean, and has any suggestions or help,
I would really appreciate it.

Thanx in advance
