A method of scrolling a display window on a computer system is provided. According to the method, movement of a pointing device and a request for pointer scrolling are detected. If pointer scrolling is requested and there is movement of the pointing device, the display window is scrolled. In a preferred embodiment, a request for automatic pointer scrolling is also detected. If automatic pointer scrolling is requested, the display window is repeatedly scrolled at predetermined intervals until automatic pointer scrolling is no longer requested. Additionally, a computer system is provided that includes a central processing unit ("CPU"), a display, a keyboard, and a pointing device. The pointing device normally controls movement of a cursor on the display. However, when a selected key of the keyboard is pressed and there is movement of the pointing device, the CPU executes instructions that cause the scrollable window to be scrolled in response to the movement of the pointing device.
