The [list]-abs collection has several objects that would do this, like
[list-dripslow], or [list-seek]. These are abstractions so you could
study how it's done. But you could also use [textfile] with [until]. For a
ready-made abstraction, see attached "ezmenu". Use a counter in front
of it to scroll back and forth.
