I'm currently working on a stack in which an extensive list of numbers
are returned from an analytical XFCN; however, the list of numbers,
which will be broken down and put into a table format, is, as I said,
extensive and may not fit on one screen.  Is there a way to create a
window-style environment in HyperCard, like a spreadsheet, in which
the user could scroll through the list, both horizontally and
vertically?  Is changing the card size, which, if I remember from
previous messages on here, affects every card in the stack, the only
way to do this?  I'd like to avoid this, if at all possible.  Could I
create a windoid or window in which I'd put the numbers, in their
table format, for the user to contemplate?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated; however, please rely through
personal email, since I don't check the newsgroups every day.  Thanks
in advance!
