It takes a really long time to scroll down through 6000 individuals with Wordpad in Win95 on a Dell590 which I understand to be a P100 machine.

There's obviously something I'm not understanding here. In Windows programs, if you click on the Scroll Bar and pull it downward, it should still take only a fraction of a second. How about holding down the CTRL key and hitting the END key? That should take you to the bottom of the document.
