My apologies to Tim who will probably find this question unworthy of an
answer ;-)

I'm trying to use the Window Manager to create a non-modal dialog-like
window.  I'm trying to implement some TE items, but I can't figure out how
to implement autoscrolling either while selecting text or scrolling with
the cursor keys.

IM4 describes TEAutoView, TEPinScroll, and TESelView.  I am using TEAutoView
to (I thought) activate the automatic scrolling, but this doesn't seem to
be enough.  I've been trying to figure out how the Dialog Manager does it,
and TEKey seems to be calling TEPinScroll at the appropriate time, but
I can't seem to get this to work.  Nor can I find anything helpful in the
TN's, nor does any of the sample code I have deal with this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
BoBo
