That's essentially right. Even when the underlying GUI toolbox on each
platform supports a particular kind of widget, it's a matter of fitting
it consistently into MrEd's layer.

Long long ago, panels did have scrollbars in MrEd, but they didn't work
well on all platforms, and so I disabled them. Restoring panel
scrolling is high on the list of improvements I'd like to make.

I'm curious about this one. Adding a scrollbar widgets is relatively
easy, but I had not previously seen a use for it other than an abuse as
a slider. Can you tell me more about your GUI?

Thanks,
