I think the bookkeeping would be next to impossible. You have to keep
track of all the controls on the form and calculate what their relative
position to each other would be. Then, you determine from the scroll bar
position which ones are "on form" and which ones are not. For the ones
"on form", change their y coordinates and show them. For the ones "off
form", hide them.

More to the point, I think a scrolling form on PalmOS would be a bad UI
design, and the UI needs to be rethought.
