Ok sorry, I meant vertically scrolling.

I thought that was fixed.
After looking at the webpage it seems that I messed it up quite bad:

- file permissions that are wrong
- link of the newest version points to an old version.

I fixed this (I hope).   So you could try again with a newer
version or with Base.help etc.

I will look at the rest of your reply later.
