                      '\n' - treated as a line break
                      '\'  - without any known escape sequence is discarded.

The ScrollControl applet uses the ScrollingText methods and provides an easy
to use interface for making dynamic changes to a ScrollingText applet.

ScrollControl Parameters:

target   value = name of the target ScrollingText applet
text     value = text to display in the ScrollControl applet window
image    value = url of image to display in ScrollControl applet window
color    value = color of text
bgcolor  value = background color of applet
action   value = a comma seperated list of ScrollingText methods to call when the
                 applet is clicked, with the following syntax: MethodName(parameter)
                 If the method does not take a paramter, the () is still needed.
                 Example <parm name=action value="SetFont(Ariel),SetFontSize(16),IncSpeed(10)">
                 will change the font, font size, and scroll speed when the applet is clicked.
