If you use the "built-in" scrollbars for the group, you won't have
to worry about setting any scrollbar properties. You can set
horizontal and vertical scrollbars for groups in the group
properties palette.

You're absolutely right that the HyperCard/SuperCard/ToolBook
approach provides its own level of pain.
With one exception: If you need to make a drawing program, you'll need
to have the pointer tool able to access objects within the scrolling
group, but not the group itself (see SuperCard's

Scott you wrote regarding my numlock key question:
Another thing to consider would be to just override *all* of the
keyDown events and do entry based on the parameter to the rawKeyDown
message. That way it wouldn't matter what the state of that key was.
Could you elaborate on HOW you override
What would make life easier would be the option to scroll the window
whilst editing a background/group so you don't need to keep switching
between edit and run mode just to move up or down a bit.
Hmm. I don't think you want to be using "edit background" for this

It might help you to know that you can edit a group without ungrouping first.

Is there a way to obtain the freesize of a stack and so determine whether
it needs compacting? Compacting does take a while on large stacks and I
would prefer to use it only when necessary.

How about an extension of the cantSelect object property that forces the
object to behave as if the tool is browse? This would allow everything from
menu bars in the same stack to scrolling groups containing graphics that are
being edited with the pointer tool.
