Chris's comment appears to be not-exactly true.  If you run xpostit,
for example, and type a bunch of words with no carriage-return,
eventually the insertion point disappears below the bottom of the
window.

I haven't had a chance to see why xpostit doesn't work right...since xedit
*does* scroll down during word overflows.  

Generally confused, but too busy to figure it out,
