We have a Basic Scroll Plug and Play that will be going up this weekend

but it too is suited only for a limited amount of text.

Yes, you need to limit the amount of text placed in the text field at

any one time. We hope to have a version posted by early next week that

will solve this problem and allow virtually an unlimited amount of text

to be scrolled smoothly.

True

We hope that we will end that for you and others shortly.
