Actually, the concept of text scrolling within a field is universal, iMHO; the 
concept of any old collection of objects scrolling in a (possibly invisible) 
frame, less so. My problem, apart from general dumbness, was my inability to 
see that the two cases are essentially the same.

I agree about the iOS scroller issues, although I did read something about it 
perhaps in some early release notes. I think there may also be some subtleties 
to be explained about the possible values returned by scrollerDidScroll, if 
anyone wants to attempt a clearer write-up!

Thanks for the response, as ever.
