v0.9.9.0, preview 3, the Windows writing program Writemonkey

For those who don't know
what typewriter scrolling is: for years I have found it odd that all word processors
have a built-in flaw - if you are typing a long document, eventually the cursor reaches
the bottom of the screen, and stays there. Crude and unergonomic. Bring back the
typewriter.

Since Mac OSX came on the scene, a number of programs, including
Writeroom (http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/writeroom have
introduced what's called "typewriter scrolling" - the cursor remains fixed at a line
of your choosing and the text scrolls away from you. Maybe disconcerting for
youngsters who have never used a typewriter, but very natural for me.

Because a few
programs for Mac offer this feature, which has been non-existent on Windows, I assume
the Mac OS built-in edit controls make it easy to offer typewriter scrolling, but
that's guesswork.

But some time ago I suggested to Writemonkey's author that he add
typewriter scrolling (more in hope than expectation). And now it's there. It's
marked as an experimental feature, and it is a preview version, so if you try it don't
use it for anything important, but the scrolling feature works well for me.

Well, apparently there is now typewriter scrolling in Scrivener for Windows as well. I only discovered it by accident as I was getting annoyed that in Full Screen view the text was jumping around, whenever I tried to highlight text with a mouse and drag it. It turned out that "typewriter scrolling" was on, and after toggling it off with WindowsKey+Ctr+T my problem disappeared.
