  i'm not using TextEdit to do horizontal scrolling.  i just created a very large
window with horizontal and vertical scroll bars, and a TextEdit record large
enough to fit in it (though not all visible at once).  i can scroll through the
text using the window's scroll bars and am calling DrawControls to redraw as needed.

   i'm not using TaskMaster to control the record because i am going to have
multiple fonts/styles/sizes and i didn't think i could do this with TaskMaster. though
i am using TaskMaster for everything else .  what i need is way to know when i'm
at the bottom of the window so i can scroll up.  it looks like i'll have to keep
a manual count of which line i'm on to figure it out.
