	This has to do with the container widget (hbox, vbox, table,
whatever) you put them in and the options that you set.  You should take a
look at the container docs or tutorial.

	The scrolled window has vertical adjustments associated with it.
If you want it to follow the text, you might have to manually get the
adjustments, change it accordingly, and go to it.  I'm not entirely sure
as I tend to put all my text in a char buffer and then put the buffer at
one time -- much faster.  Anyway, take a look at the documentation to
scrolled windows and it should lead you to a GTKAdjustment data structure
which you can read.

	...I don't know what you mean but manually, perhaps?  That is,
when a user hits the "Enter" key, you add the \n character to the buffer.
