[Gambas-user] Smooth Scrolling (not happening)

[nando]

Run a new separate program just for the credits and make
sure it is placed on the screen exactly where you want it to be.

A possible future feature Benoit,
The Tools include many things like Listbox, etc.
Can there be something that is a container just for
an already compiled Gambas program....???
