Hi Tim,

You're right. I guess I could make the scrollbars and zooming controls 
optional, and include a way to scroll/zoom with the mouse wheel and 
modifier keys. It would be ready for events from other kinds of 
controllers, and would make easy to add boring scrollbars as it is 
usually needed.

Separating the scrolling of the contents from the user interaction would 
be more like the 3rd option I described. Let's see. I could use the 
coordinate system of this morph that is just the ScrollableArea (maybe 
that could be the name of the class), to specify what to show, without 
messing with the contents at all. But then, what would be the meaning of 
the content's location? I guess I need to think about this.

BTW, I guess you've downloaded and tried it for at least five minutes, 
haven't you?

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
