Can anyone help me with this problem ??

I'm trying to get multiple fields to scroll together. i.e. clicking in one
scrollbar would scroll all the fields the same number of lines in the same
direction at the same time !!. I think I probably need to use multiple
scrollable fields, have only one scrollbar visible (hide the other scrollbars
by overlapping the fields) and achieve the scrolling by modifying the scroll
value of the fields.

However, how do I trap the fact that the scrollbar is active, e.g. the up
or down arrow being pressed, or the elevator having been moved. Even with the
fields locked, I don't seem to get mouseDown etc. type messages.

Does anyone have a script, (or even better an Xcmd because that should be
faster) that will solve this problem ?

	Thanks in advance,

		Ian Sheppard.
