From: Craig Joseph <clj> I'll ask one more time in the hope that some poor soul will take pity on me. Does anyone know of a horizontal and a vertical scrolling procedure that can be used as a callback procedure(s) for an sx_scrollbar?? Craig clj@ohio-state.arpa

Since this procedure has no idea what is being displayed, it would have to simply store the bitmapped image for the entire window (not just the visible part); this could take a very unreasonable amount of space. The reason Sx doesn't provide such a beast is that you can do a much better job yourself, since you can represent the window contents with a more compact data structure. -- Scott
