I always have the refcon of the window hold a handle to a structure, record,
or object which contains all of the information about the window, including
handles to the scroll bars.  This does not require dinking with any of the
Window or Control Manager's data structures, using global variables, assuming 
anything about the order of controls, or arbitrarily limiting the number
of windows.  The only assumption this makes is that a refcon is large enough
to hold a handle.
