>> (Questions about scroll bars and dialog boxes, and other stuff)

Well, the control with the lines of text in it is a List Control, and can be
defined according to the specifications in Toolbox Reference Vol. 1 under List
Manager and Toolbox Reference Vol. 3 under Control Manager Update and List
Manager Update. You cannot (easily, it can be done though) have list controls
in dialog boxes, and even difficultly the system will only support one list
control per dialog box. As far as I know, it is also impossible to have a
scrolling dialog box with the dialog manager - the best thing to do is use the
window manager's NewWindow2 call to make a window with a dialog-type alert
frame and use TaskMaster to make the window a "modal dialog", or to use Apple
II Developer Technical Support's "FakeModalDialog" routines.
