One way is to use a read only field, and to programmatically load the field
with text from a string resource when the form is opened. Then you can add
scroll buttons or even a scroll bar, hooking this up to the field by
suitable handling of events, and you're all set. It's a bit tedious, but not
actually that hard. This does have some limitations: all the text has to be
in the same font, and you can't add in graphics or animations or other cute
stuff.
Another approach is to divide your instructions into pages that all fit on
the screen, and then manually lay out each page, using labels for each line,
as you are now. This lets you mix fonts and graphics, do fancy layout, etc.
