If all you need is a text output, you can always swap from the SCREEN _NEWIMAGE screens and use $CONSOLE:ONLY to print to the terminal, which allows for built in scrolling (up to whatever the buffer length is set at -- it's not limitless scrolling either).
Otherwise, all you can do is print a single page of text to the screen at a time. To create that scrolling effect, you'd need to print to the screen inside a DO...LOOP, read the user input, and then change the starting point of that large list based on what the user wants/needs.
I'm not certain when Terry covers such a process in his tutorial, but it's not that complicated really to do a "scrollable list". If he doesn't have a chapter on creating one, maybe he'll work one up for everyone to take a gander at in his free time.
(If not, I'll whip one up late one night when I'm restless and can't sleep, for folks to study sometime.
