Allow pulled in text to have scrolling capability in the sub-window. The perl or bash script that Solarwinds pushes out to the server to execute does the filtered/greped file content and provides the results to be pulled back and displayed. Many users have unique/custom files to work with and not have to log into the remote server to get at this information.
