1 – SVN scroll bars
You can use scroll bars to display data outside the borders of a window. A scroll bar has stepping arrows at each end of the scroll region and a slider within the scroll region. For more information about using a scroll bar, double click on one of the additional topics.
1.1 – Step arrows
Stepping arrows are the triangles that appear at each end of a scroll bar. To move the window one line in the direction of the stepping arrow, move the pointer to a stepping arrow and click on MB1. This allows you to move through the data in the window at a pace that is easier to view.
1.2 – Scroll region
The scroll region is the area between the stepping arrows that is not highlighted. To move the data in the window by one window length, move the pointer to the scroll region and click on MB1.
1.3 – Slider
The slider is the highlighted rectangle that appears in the scroll bar. The size of the slider indicates how much of the data appears on the screen. For example, if the slider takes up 10 percent of the scrolling region, only 10 percent of the data is displayed in the window. To move quickly through the data, move the pointer to the slider. Press MB1, and drag the slider through the scrolling region. When you release MB1, the information from the position in the data indicated by the slider is displayed in the window.
