Hi Allen, This is what I should have done, however I'm too far down the track to consider MUI for this project (having already created a dozen or so sub-windows and having a deadline to work to). It's really just a coincidence that GIMMEZEROZERO could solve the problem due to the way the scrolling works, however it's not the best approach and I _might_ need to implement something similar to what MUI does. So, as a side-dish, I'd like some advice from anyone on how to do something similar. From what I understand, MUI implements virtual groups by supporting clip regions and does an InstallClipRegion() in its gadget dispatcher. Unfortunately, the gadgets which I'll be scrolling (all of which are Mark Thomas' texteditor.gadget objects) don't appear to support clip regions and Intuition shoves a NULL in the clip region by default when calling dispatchers on its context (argh!) so out of luck there. I guess I'll have to see if I can subclass texteditor.gadget to work around this but I'm hoping the GIMMEZEROZERO/border gadget problem can be solved as this will save a lot of time (yeah, next time I'll use MUI!) Thanks
