Using Scrollbars without Text

[tCarls]

Is it possible to associate a scrollbar with a widget
other than text? I'm using more frames than will fit
on the screen. I'd like to do something similar to
the following:

#!/usr/bin/wish

for {set i 0} {$i < 100} {incr i} {
button .$i -text button
grid .$i -row $i -column 0
}

scrollbar .scroll -command ". yview" -orient v
grid .scroll -row 0 -rowspan 10 -column 1 -sticky ns

BWidgets has a scrolled frame but, really, it doesn't do anything more (IMHO) than packing all your widgets into a scrolled text widget. To answer your implicit question, no, you can't scroll a toplevel.
