Vertical Scrolling Text

Hi all,

I have seen a few posts in the archives about scrolling text but somehow none that do what I need. If jit.textfile did not have a 256 limit then I would be done. But it does. So I have been looking at using jit.matrix and mxj list.Queue to do the job but I keep running into problems with carriage returns, etc.

In a nutshell what I need is something like the patch below where I can dump or read through a large coll (2000+ lines), have each index appear on a separate line, and then scroll. I just seems like it shouldn't be that hard...

Can anybody clue me into a good way of doing this with jit.matrix, jit.lcd or whatever?
