This handler is in my standard library stack used by most of my projects:
command enableScrollbarIfNeeded pFldName
if the formattedHeight of fld pFldName > the height of fld pFldName then
set the vScrollbar of fld pFldName to true
else
set the vScrollbar of fld pFldName to false
end if
end enableScrollbarIfNeeded
It's worked well for me.
