What about the scroll and paging arrows?  On the Mac, a scroll bar consists
of 5 parts: up/down arrows (scroll by a small amt), up/down pagers (scroll
by screenful), and scroll box (random access scrolling).  Proportional
gadgets sound like just the last of these.

From a quick scan of the Intuition manual it seemed that you have to add 4
button-type gadgets to implement the arrows and pagers.  Is that right, and
does the system automatically move and resize all 5 gadgets?  (If you
resize the window, you want the proportional gadget to grow and shrink, and
the 4 button gadgets to remain adjacent to it.)

Sorry.  I was talking about a small status area within a window.  For
example, the bottom edge of a window looks like:

	| status area |<=======scroll bar ======>|

In other words, the horizontal scroll bar does not extend to the left edge
of the window, leaving room for status information without using up too much
of the window.  My question was whether this case was automatically handled
by the Amiga software.

Thanks for the informative reply.
