There's a version of the Browser on one of the Fish disks that has
that. I think it requires 1.2 to run (I stopped running the browser
free-standing before I got 1.2), as I couldn't get it to work on 1.1.

Matt Dillon also has a cute program that opens a window on a file, and
you mouse-down at the bottom to scroll down, and at the top to scroll
up. Holding down the mouse button makes it keep scrolling.
