It's not approved GuideML, so it wouldn't be allowed in Edited Entries. Nevertheless, you're looking for the tag.

There's far more information about it in A789942, with lots of examples.

Even better!
By the way, I'd suggest using as English is read from left to right.

Ah... I know that... that's why I thought I'd be controversial and make it go the other way, lol...
Confusing people mehopes... lol...
I'll give the other stuff a try later on, once I've gotten use to it all...

And you can use up down, which is how people make the bouncing smileys.
Can someone explain about the speed control though?

SEF Posted Jul 11, 2003
Have you read A789942 yet, Pinwheel? I think it makes it fairly clear.
You can specify SCROLLAMOUNT which is a number of pixels to shift between image refreshes. So a low number will mean a slow but smooth looking scroll and a higher number will mean an apparently faster scroll but actually more gappy.
You can also specify SCROLLDELAY which is the number of milliseconds to wait between image refreshes. So here a lower number will mean a faster apparent scroll speed (but will actually be limited by your computer's speed) and a higher number will lead to a jerkier "scroll".
