Scrolling on Mac OS X : groups vs fields

On OSX (10.8.4, MBP - but I doubt that matters), I can scroll using a two-finger touch (i.e. if the cursor is within an area that is scrollable, then generally I can touch with two fingers, and 'push up' or 'pull down' the window contents. This includes LC fields - this scrolling just works

You have to lock the cursor, or it resets to default on idle as soon as the handler finishes. Best practice is to just set the defaultcursor, which obviates the need to lock the cursor. Locking the cursor can lead to frozen cursors if somehow your unlock cursor command fails to trigger. Very

Not quite sure what you are asking. Say you had a list field on a main card. If the user clicks on a line and navigates to another card based on what line that contained, would that do the trick? When user edits the field(s) on that local card, you can write a routine that populates the
