hello

i'd like to delete the last character if needed
and have the page scroll

If you look at the way characters are placed on the screen is one of the drivers, if you adjust the column/row index to decrement it by 1, they send a space to it, you will effectively·"erase" the last character. Most of the text display objects already have a terminal type of scroll (single direction machine controlled scrolling). If you are looking for a scroll-bar type user interface, that would be considerably more involved.

A simple way to delete would be to keep track of the last key(s) pressed, change the font color to the background color, and to re-type the last character at the last position.
Scrolling is a bit tougher...
