It gives you complete control over the scrolling of an array. It isn't designed to work with either display array or input array you have to do most of the progamming yourself. I have found it useful when you have large amounts of data to visually scroll through but where it won't all fit on the screen. What you do is have a number of screens which overlay each other based on keyboard selection. Each has an array which you code to scroll in step with the other screens. Useful when you want to do split screen work where the left hand side is used for positioning and data entry and the right hand side is used to bring up different sets of data related to the left hand side.
