Once in DOS times I had to do something like this, and the solution was to have a cursor with just one field, and show it in a bro... it would be a grid with nonproportional font now. FileToStr() the whole textfile, alines() it into an array, and then fill your cursor with the elements of the array. If your user wants to scroll right, refill your cursor with substr(a[i], 21) - to move 20 characters right, refresh the grid.

I think you got the idea, and can fill the details. I could dig out the original code, but they would be full of 2.6 workarounds for many things.
