I am using the Athena widget set on sun 3 and 4s. I have a list widget whose
parent is a viewport widget so that I am able to scroll the list.  As my
application adds elements to the list, I want the list scrolled forward.  The
most recently added are at the bottom of the list and are therefore of more
interest to the user.  I want the application to make the bottom most list
items visible rather than the portion of the list that the user last scrollbar
to.  How do I get the list to scroll from my application instead of by user
action?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
