Scrollers allow the user to move vertically or horizontally through a display that is
bigger than the view. The Newton System Software provides a number of scrollers
to allow users to scroll their views.

All scroller protos are implemented in the same way; that is, they use the same
methods and slots. These scrollers are not linked or related to the scroll arrows on
the built-in button bar. For individual descriptions of the scroller protos, see
"Scroller Protos" (page 7-2) in Newton Programmer's Reference. This section
describes how to implement scrollers in your applications.

The scroller protos do not perform the actual scrolling of data in a view; they
simply display and maintain the arrows as the user taps them. To scroll data in a
view, you can use the following protos in your applications:
