scrolling frame?

       Hello,

       I have a frame which contain (possible multiple instances of)
      sub-frames (which contain menubuttons, entries, labels etc)).

      The problem is that when there are several instances of the
      sub-frames, then the whole frame gets long... too long for lower
      resolution screens) and the whole top-level widget doesn't fit
      on the screen. This is ugly.

      I want to be able to put a scroll bar down the outside of this
      frame so that it fits on the screen and is scrollable if
      necessary.

      (You can see a (2x scaled-down) example of the problem in:
       http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~paule/chart/screenshot.long.png)

       I can't see how to scroll the frame, if you have any
      suggestions how I should work my way round this problem, I would
      be appreciative. (I tried using a canvas, but that scrolled the
      background but not the entry boxes :-).

      Also, is there a way of changing the default font so that the
      whole thing is smaller?

      Thanks,

      Paul.
