Hi, Im trying to use a TextEditor from Curses: Shawn Boyette > Curses-UI-0.9609 > Curses::UI::TextEditor I write data into the TextEditor widget and have added a scrollbar using the code below: 

my $infodialog = $infowin->add( 
        'infodialog', 
        'TextViewer',
        -wrapping => 1,
        -vscrollbar => 'right',
);
 $infodialog->focus();

sub info{
    my ($infoText, $infodialog) = @_;
    
    my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
    localtime(time);
    
    my $fqInfoText = "[$hour:$min:$sec]-" . $infoText;
    my $currentText = $infodialog->get();
    $infodialog->text($currentText . $fqInfoText);
    $infodialog->draw();     
}

How do I always keep the scrollbar at the bottom? I want the user to always see the newest text in the TextViewer. I have found the following in the documentation:

"<end> Call the 'cursor-end' routine: go to the end of the text."

Can I "send" a fake key press of the end key before I call draw to update the Textviewer to show the newest entries? How is this usually done?
