}I need the ability to scroll thru more than 32000 characters 
}in textEdit [...] Anyone have ideas on this or know where I
}can find source code?

Funny thing you should ask.  I just received (in this morning's mail)
an ad from DataPak Software for a package called Word Solution Engine.
It's a TextEdit replacement for Mac Developers.  Here are the main features:
  - No 32K limit
  - Fast editing/display of large text files
  - Multiple fonts, styles, and point sizes
  - Script Manager support
  - Quickdraw color support
  - "User Styles" (hooks provided to customize characters)
  - Low Cost

As an "introductory offer" the object code is $300, and can be accessed from
Pascal, C, or Assembly.  Their number is (800) 327-6703, or you can FAX them
at (206) 573-9269.  Their address is 9317 N. E. Highway 99, Suite G,
Vancouver, WA 98665, and normal voice phone is (206) 573-9155.

DISCLAIMER:  I know NOTHING about the above package, other than it sounds
like it might be what you're looking for.  I've never used it, I've never
seen it, and I only this morning got an ad in the mail for it.
