I would suggest using the R4 Athena AsciiText widget.  If provides memory
managed text, as well as both horizontal and vertical scrolling.

For an example program take a look at "clients/xedit" on the R4 Core
distribution.  This program is a short example of how to build a text editor
using the Athena AsciiText widget.
