Try something like this, Richard (not tested and off the top of me head):
on mouseUp
if the pendingMEssages is empty then doScrolling
else stopScrolling
end mouseUp
on doScrolling
set the scroll of fld 1 to the (scroll of fld 1 +1)
send doScrollingto me in 1
end doScrolling
on stopScrolling
repeat until the pendingMessages is empty
cancel item 1 of the pendingMessages
end repeat
end stopScrolling
