I have a stack that does a similar thing, but with numbers and I just use the 
following script in the main field;

on scrollBarDrag pScroll
   set the vScroll of fld  “lineNumbers" to pScroll

end scrollBarDrag

Provided both fields have the same number of lines and the text properties are 
identical they should stay aligned correctly.

Or a simpler version would be;
set the vScroll of fld 2 to the vScroll of fld 1
