I managed to get the effect I anted using the very inelegant approach
of cloning the field, throwing away the bottom part and measuring the
height of the remaining lines! The script is as follows:
on gotoLine theLine,theField
lock screen
if there is a field "Scratch" then delete field "Scratch"
clone field theField
set the name of field id (word 3 of it) to "Scratch"
delete line theLine-2 to -1 of field "Scratch"
put the formattedHeight of field "Scratch" into thePosn
hide field "Scratch"
set the vScroll of field theField to thePosn
choose browse tool
unlock screen
end gotoLine
Not very clever, but it works! Any suggestions for something more
elegant would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
