- i'm not using TextEdit to do horizontal scrolling. i just created a very large
- window with horizontal and vertical scroll bars, and a TextEdit record large
- enough to fit in it (though not all visible at once). i can scroll through the
- text using the window's scroll bars and am calling DrawControls to redraw as needed.

- i'm not using TaskMaster to control the record because i am going to have
- multiple fonts/styles/sizes and i didn't think i could do this with TaskMaster. though
- i am using TaskMaster for everything else . what i need is way to know when i'm
- at the bottom of the window so i can scroll up. it looks like i'll have to keep
- a manual count of which line i'm on to figure it out.
