SXEmacs scrollbars provide the usual interface. Arrow buttons at either end allow for line by line scrolling, including autorepeat. Clicking in the scrollbar itself provides scrolling by windowsfull, depending on which side of the slider is clicked. The slider itself may be dragged for smooth scrolling.
The position of the slider corresponds to the position of the window in the buffer. In particular, the length of the slider is proportional to the fraction of the buffer which appears in the window.
The presence of the scrollbars is under control of the application or may be customized by the user. By default a vertical scrollbar is present in all windows (except the minibuffer), and there is no horizontal scrollbar.
