I want to set up two scrolling fields that will scroll together.
That is, I can cover up the scroll bars of one with the other,
but I want both to scroll relative to the remaining set of bars.

I tried a stack script like:

on idle
	/* here I set the top lines equal - I forget code */
end idle


The only problem with this is that this only works when nothing
is happening - not the case when the mouse is down on the arrow
or thumb. The second field is updated AFTER the scroll; they do
no scroll together (can we say redundant?)

Does anyone know how to fix this? XCMD or XFCN? Or is it not
possible?
