the docs are sorta sparce any package will do..
If there is an example of what it is you want to achieve on-line, a video, an example in a program, or something in a common game, then point us in the direction of it. At the moment you see, I'm thinking you want to do film style credits with the text rolling up the screen.

Once there's a clear idea of what you want to do, you should find it easier to get help.
