I would like to see a feature for grids, an option to make grids Auto-Scroll when new data is added.

After asking someone what they thought of the grid auto-scroll they gave a better suggestion. What about a winset pane-scroll "command" which we could use to scroll the pane to different positions?(top, center, bottom, or a % etc..)

This would be pretty cool, but it might be impossible with Window's scrollbar handling.

If that were the case how would output scroll down automatically?

You never know, it could be a default behavior in windows.

I'm fairly certain windows scrollbar controls have messages to handle this. I haven't used scrollbars in GUI apps with the Win API, and I'm not going to bother looking it up, but I would be dumbfounded if Microsoft was stupid enough not to support the scrollbar messages required for this. Of course, I have been dumbfounded by other stupidities by Microsoft, but I'd be willing to bet money that it's completely possible.

So Loduwijk are you for this suggestion as well? I would really enjoy seeing this and would love to get all feedback on it (preferably positive)

I'm certainly not against it, but I do not use all the new fancy features. I have never used winset().

I'm from oldschool Byond, and I have not had the time to keep up with all the nifty new changes. I know basically what type of things have been added for the most part, but I have not been able to read up on them or use them yet.

If you want my personal, honest oppinion about the whole new system of advanced window control though, from what little I have seen of it, it looks needlessly complicated. If I were to look into it more, maybe I would see that it was done because there are certain merits to this style of syntax, but so far I have not noticed such a merit.

This would definitely be doable. It's not insanely difficult to create a dynamic scrollbar beside an element using Win API(Though I find it very annoying to use in general and have since switched to wxWidgets.) Anyhow, this feature could be really useful and increase the "robustness" of the grid control feature. This should be given a lot of consideration in my personal opinion, sounds worth having. I say "Yes" to this feature. :)
