Here's the field statement I've got.

field style-text id same nolabel display data at ,28 pic "^^^^" &
	popup from 3,2 to 22,79

I'd like the user to easily view/scroll this field, without being allowed to
change it. The best solution I've got so far is to invoke a subscreen
containing just one field:

field style-text hidden label "Text (excluding comments)" at 1,30 &
	data at 2,2 for 21,78 predisplay display

But the only scrolling keys that seem to work on this are PF1/D & PF1/U
(scroll by line) - no scroll by page, and some of them are biggish.

The only other way I know to scroll around a field is via the accept verb or
similar, which then requires the user to hit ctrl/B rather than displaying
data immediately, and which allows changes.

I just wondered if there was a neat solution at all.
