### 19.3 Browser Object

The browser object class is probably the most powerful that currently exists in the Forms Library. A browser is a box that contains a number of lines of text. If the text does not fit inside the box, a scrollbar is automatically added so that the user can scroll through it. A browser can be used for building up a help facility or to give messages to the user.

It is possible to create a browser from which the user can select lines. In this way the user can make its selections from a (possible) long list of choices. Both single lines and multiple lines can be selected, depending on the type of the browser.
