I hate to do me toos or dittos, but I so agree with this that I am more 
happy than anyone can be that we have voiceover.  Unfortunately, the read 
aloud functions of the Mac os cannot be controlled in this way.

The screen has to scroll in order for VoiceOver to keep reading.  In
order to do that, VoiceOver has to interact with the control and move
the insertion point.  I personally prefer that VoiceOver doesn't try
to assume what I want it to do.  It makes sense that it will only read
what's visible on the screen unless you tell it to do more, IMO.  The
screen reader making assumptions is one of the things i hate most
about Jaws.
