Summary: Modify compiler errors interface

Initial Comment:
The ScrollPane interface to the compiler errors is 
slow and a bit awkward. There's never any need in 
scrolling half way between two errors. Perhaps a 
cleaner interface would be up and down arrow buttons 
(with their own keyboard shortcuts) that allow for 
atomic scrolling between errors.

Story: The user compiles a program with errors. The 
compiler errors tabbed pane pops up and displays the 
first of these errors. A count of the total number of 
errors appears off to the side. The user fixes this 
error and then quickly pops to the next by clicking 
on the down arrow button in the compiler errors 
tabbed pane. He then clicks on the up arrow button, 
and the first error reappears, with the fixed text 
highlighted. He clicks the up and down arrow buttons 
repeatedly, scrolling through and fixing the compiler 
errors in the program.

The user then learns the keyboard shortcuts and 
quickly pops from error to error without switching 
focus from the definitions pane.
