Sorry for adding to my question but I just
realized that, if I can add cursors to the OS
(Win2K), then couldn't I add such pre-made
cursors (.cur, .ani) to a stack.
I tried using import and setting the filename
of an image object but the .cur/.ani cursor
files are not recognized by Rev.
Well done Brian. Yes, setting the (invisible) lineIncrement property
to zero fixes the numbers.
I didn't notice that the little ticks were wrong. I don't know how to fix them.
Your initial comments regarding a new user are exactly my sentiments.
There are a couple of bugs in scrollbar objects

This is helpful. I do, however, think it should still be considered a

Or could it be that the thumbSize value is taken into account as it
would be when working with scrollbars? (Or would it? My brain always
