Subject: Window w/scroll

Happy New Year!  And what better way to start the new year than with
a question!  In my never-ending quest to prove how dumb I am, I am
once again stumped with a programming problem.

I want to open a window with a scroller bar on the side like a text
editor has.  I thought this was a standard thing with a window, but I
can't find any way to do this.

What I want to do is open a window, output some text into it, and let
the user scroll around in it until they're done and hit the close
gadget.  Seems simple enough, but I can't find any examples to guide
me.

If anyone has a good example that does something like this, I'd love
to take a look at it.  I've searched through some of the Aminet
files, but I can't find anything that does this.  Any ideas?  Help?!

(Just so I don't look quite so dumb, this is my first excursion into
Intuition, so I'm at a loss most of the time.  :-) My RKRM-Libraries
hasn't gotten here yet, so I'm relying on hints, tips, and example
source to get by.  I'm using gadtools.library.)

Later,

     Jim
