The above won't work for continuous up and down browsing/scrolling.
Here's the interaction pattern used in iPhone for Address/Search/Cancel
are, which is limited and dynamically switched.
Initially the input line shares itself with some buttons,
which are used for scrolling or clearing e.g.
[..................................] [ Up ][Down][Clear]
when user focuses on the input line, the buttons disappear,
[...+/i.10|............................................]
when user presses [Enter] or focuses out of the input line,
the buttons reappear.
Alternatively, a small button at the end of input line could
trigger a pop-up menu with choices of previous lines, frequently
used commands, such as Script Editor, Clear Screen, Quit etc.
Which is basically a menu bar with some dynamic content.
