A scroll bar on a subfile is not hard.


A* (for *SCRBAR be sure there's 3 empty columns on the right side!!)
A  91         SFLEND(*SCRBAR *MORE)
is the whole enchilada.   *SCRBAR is a pretty simple option, and your panel
has a scroll bar that works beautifully.

Bob's being extra careful to Do It Right. In a group of detail oriented
programmers, somebody is going to scrutinise every word...

But your post struck a chord with me. I'm fairly comfortable with binding
and her friends ACTGRP, BNDDIR and QSRVSRC. But I have to admit that the
"GUI" like stuff you do with mousable scroll bars and drop down menu widgets
seems like black magic to me. Thinking about that for a moment (my brain
thermal checks if I go much more than that!) I think it's because of
familiarity. To me, scroll bars are new and... odd. But I've never once
taken the time to actually try it out. (bad me AGAIN!)

Rather than deliver one of my traditional homilies I'll spare the list, but
I think the lesson is clear enough. Off to look at your web site and
examples. Thanks Booth!
