Hi, 

I am trying to build a text file reader using Visual Smalltalk 3.01. This 
reader has to have the following properties:

	1. Able to read large text files, with file sizes over 100k.
	2. Able to scroll backwards and forwards; beginning to end, no matter 
	   what the file size.

This is my first VS 3.01 application. I managed to create the basic viewer 
using the PARTS Workbench, but it does not handle large files.

Any advice, on this problem, would be appreciated.


Thank's alot
